Front bearings

[Tony Press]

Thanks for all the great replies, I was under the impression that if I got a set no further fettling would be needed. 

Guess I need to have a look for some shims, the mini suggestion returns a few on Google so will look into that.

Tony- they were RHP MJT1.1/8M. They came 2 to a "set".
I've attached a picture of the box.

My list of bearing suffixes indicates:  M- a pair of bearings with medium preload - no memtion of the pre load so could be 8-10 thou. 

Your box has suffix MB which is listed as: MB- solid brass cage ?

In any case I believe the old Austin Seven 'matched pair' of angular contact crankshaft bearings BB68 would have no more that 2 thou maximum preload.

I would think stock of these would be long gone.
