Radir spindle mounts

I have recently purchased a set of 18"x3" Radir spindle mount rims for early Ford spindles [spindles not purchased yet]. My question is are these the correct bearings-

if not please can someone advise the correct bearings for the job. I plan to run a disc brake set up too.

I didn't think you could run disc brakes on those. Are you modifying motorcycle discs to run up front or has someone made a kit for those?

I don't know if this will help, but do the spindle mount rims have races for the bearings already installed into them? If it does, you can take the races out of one rim and narrow down your search by looking through a bearing catalog and finding the popular pairings of bearings to that race. You're bound to find a bearing that matches the same diameter of the spindle shaft for both the inside and outside races. This method takes the longest, and it has no real guarantees, but its a better start than from where you began.

Best of luck, Chap.

 

Ask Radir - they can supply or direct you to where to find bearings and brake kits.
