Another problem here is the fact that the Angular Contact bearings used in the Austin 7 Pinion thrust all have narrow outer rings, similar in style to the Angular Contact Crankshaft bearings.
The Differential bearing housing depth requires these bearings.
I have not been able to find any mention of this in the Austin Seven literature or the Austin Seven Companion.
I don't believe there are any original narrow outer ring Austin Seven Angular Contact bearings left, so we have had standard bearings modified locally to suit.
