Front bearings

[dannyteal1990]

Thanks for all the great advice, I've got a set of shims from a classic Mini on order so will have a play around with those when they arrive and see where we stand.

The bearings are indeed brass caged.

I've also heard that old bearings can give years worth of service but since they are a bit of a pain to get in and out I thought it proved well to change them for new while I had the engine in pieces.

Cross fingers I can get past this hurdle...and will then probably very quickly hit the next one

Thanks again everyone!
