Hi Folks,
I used to run the Type 65 with a twin track self aligning ball race at the rear, with no issues, the crank is a 1 1/2" Allan which is very stiff. I used the front bearings for location as standard.
( I think its still in the garden shed, no sign of brinelling when removed )
I also have a very clever shell bearing conversion for the front and rear mains in the spares pile, I have not yet done a trial assembly on this as it would require some cunning in the oil feed dept.
