Don, the wheel bearings are easy. I'm using ONLY sealed bearings now and if
your local Bearings Inc does not stock them they will be there next day. The
sealed bearings are "fit and forget" and they stay clean in the hubs. I
still use a seal on the rear brg carrier although if your rear axle housing
has been counter bored for a seal then this almost becomes redundant, plus
the seal in the bearing carrier is to keep the grease in, not diff oil OUT!

Remember there are a few parts that cross from TC.
Also have found a specialty shop in

I have had proper brass 1/4" & 5/16" clips made for tail lamp wires, etc.
Also, I use slotted stainless sheet metal screws for interior panels, etc.
And ALL machine screw fasteners should be BSF. Small amounts of BSF hardware
are easliy available from Abingdon Spares (there are other domestic
suppliers, too) but large quantities are far less expensive from the UK,
even adding shipping.

The front cross tube is a perfect example of a cross from a TC. Easily
obtainable from Ab Spares or Moss, and I RARELY, if ever, use an original.
Hope this helps, and remember, we were all born with ZERO MMM knowledge.
