Hi Bob,
Thanks for the response. Abingdon Spares had the 45 mm ones (actually
44.9). Now I'm discovering a size issue with Moss' main bearings. I'm used to
having the center bearing be a snug fit in the cap, this one fell right out.
Did
a check with plastigage and found >.003" clearance. The slightly used bearing
that I was replacing for general principals measured .002". Frustrating!
