    Anybody have the part number for the bearings, and seal. I believe you just have to radius the inboard inner race to seat properly on the round spindle if you have the correct bearing.
    The regular 37/48 outer bearing still works ? Or do I use the F-1 outer bearing ?
    Thanks in advance

    Need to trim the top rear edge of the spindles to clear the wheel cylinder.

    Radius ground on the inner edge of the bearing to match spindle.

    In past things I have read about the swap they say to put tape over the rollers of the bearing to keep the grit out. Not a bad idea. I've found that the "chain saw sharpening stones" that they sell for Dremel tools at ACE and other hardware stores do a nice job of cutting metal like this if you are gentle and don't apply a lot of pressure.
