Thanks Nick, Charles and Tony
It is good to have RHP confirmed as a bearing of choice. I am surprised by the variation in cost of bearings not necessarily due to dodgy copies being cheaper. I bought some 1 1/4” LJT diff bearings recently and the prices ranged from £54 up to £78 before tax. And it was a cherished supplier that was the cheapest!
One final question. I bought bearings described as 1 1//4 LJT but on offer were both 14 1/1/4” LJT and 16 11/4 LJT. Not being a mechanical engineer I’m assuming that the 14 and 16 are numbers of balls in the cage. But I’d be interested in a more informed answer.
Cheers
Howard
