Ben, I just bought 3 of the RM8's from simplybearings.co.uk they also do the carrier wheel bearing 6408 at £20 each.

I think once you have cleaned up your cam, cover it with grease. Before you put your cam bearings in, pop one seal and add some more grease, (they never come with sufficient grease). Also don't put your radiator in yet !, consider tack welding your cam plate mounting plate left side retaining nuts to the carrier floor, that way later on if you have to drop the cam you can just unscrew the bolts out from the bottom (my plate is missing some left side bolts due to the sheer impossibility of fitting them with carrier engine/radiator/cooler assembled!).

Anyone got details pics of the cam plate canvas cover, not the drivers compartment rod cover but the rarely seen cam roller covers, I think Richard had a pic of this when he bought his carrier.

Ben, Also before you fit your cross tube, lay in your gear change connecting rod under it!!.

kev.
