Default Bearings should be relatively easy to find.

Hi Andy

Welcome to the wonderful world of CMPs. Mat has a good point about really cleaning and checking the wheel bearings. What you should be pleasantly surprised about is that the numbers on the bearings are still in use and relatively easy to get through a larger bearing house. Do some checking on line first to find out what the price is. Some of the auto/truck parts places have a strange idea of what their markup should be. When you can probably buy from the same wholesaler they would use.

Having the brake cylinders sleeved is the only way to go, the sleeve cylinders will out live NOS parts many times over. Have some sleeved cylinder on my HUP that are now going on 25 years just had to replace the rubber cups and boots, but the bores have no visible wear or pitting.

Cheers Phil
