You mean to say that later Midgets had roller bearings from the factory?
I did not know that.
Apparently so - that's what someone else (Daren?) said when I asked him
about the swap. I'm pretty much a novice at this, so I can't say
authoritatively.

This is something I am not sorry not to have done.
Really? Did you have trouble with stub axles?
I'm contemplating a tube shock conversion for the Morris, since things
will be apart. Is it worth it? I know you've mentioned the WeRace
conversion via J.C. Whitney, I wonder if they have the same for a Morris?
Also, do you know if the disk-brake Midgets had a proportioning valve
to decrease braking in the rear drums? Seems like the difference
between disk and drum effectiveness would be enough!
