the bearing i pulled earlier yesterday were from wheels off a carrier (but not from mine) that bearing is actually in good order however all of mine on the carrier are totally shot ie i can rock the wheel back and forth with quite alot of slop... i pulled the front idler and can confirm 50mm on the inside and 40mm on the outside the 50mm one is coded 1408 made in the USA, i got a quote back from a firm and they want £30 per bearing +VAT +Carriage.... i like your idea Kevin but i have had issues running shims in the past (on heavy vehicles) unless they are 100% spot on they spin on the axle and eventually fret onto the stub. i will give it a go though.
i have to change them all lads they are absolutely jiggered me being me i want the thing absolutely sound before going on the roads nothing more embarassing than losing a wheel on the Coast infront of the local Street Racers.
so Kevin i want them all to be 50 x 110 x 27 then ?
