Default Nice work doctor...... patient should survive.

...."I’ve ordered new bearings via eBay yesterday". ......

these are the two lower one I assume...... were they visibly pitted..? curious about the rear bottom one which was problematic to match a few years ago. Could you share how it fits and possibly the source.

On the gears....... I took a fine diamond stone and went over the leading point of the teeth one by one to reduce the wear pattern evenly .....cause by crash shifting in its previous life.....sometimes only a few needed some minor dressing....hoping it would help my shifting in the future.

Have you decided on the oil you will use???? I have used synthetic from Lucas and as predicted it tends to leak ever so lightly...... a particular feature of synthetics is the ability to creep into tiny crevices/space. .....but then it is a CMP and they love marking there territory.
