Mike,
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. The surfaces of the bodies appear to have
Races which the bearings have run in, otherwise known as a circular recessed
area where the bearings are. Guess what I was getting at was to find out if
these faces started out as smooth surfaces.
The roller bearing solution sounds promising as I would assume both inner and
outer bodies would be replaced to go with the new bearing configuration.
Thanks
David

| psabr-@aol.com, Loopfram-@topica.com Hi, David and all. I know someone else told you that there should not be grooves on the faces of both bodies, but I had the same thing happen to my ambo, and I had rings on both bodies. Now maybe we are not understanding what you mean by grooves. Do you mean the circular recessed area that the balls of the throw-out bearing run in? BTW, I got a needle-bearing replacement for the original ball bearing setup from Sport Cycles in New York. It fit in the hole without enlarging it, which would be necessary if you use a throwout bearing for an Eldo. -Mike (69 Ambo) |
