1937 NH350 head race bearings

[danielcrook]

Am looking for some help!

I'm putting (or trying to put) a 1937 NH back together from a pile of pieces and have come across a slight snag. Draganfly don't seem to have in stock the frame cups or cones needed for the head race and they seem to have been out of stock for a while - They're also out of the roller bearing conversions. Whilst I can place a back order and wait, I was wondering if anyone knew of possible alternatives which might be available or would work instead? Are there any compatible parts from other machines with similar dimensions?

Many thanks in advance,

Dan

I think it's unlikely that something else would fit. They are not that hard to make but a batch would be more worth it. Choose the right material if you do. No point making them out of crap. Tapered bearings will last a lot longer but need to keep water out to get the Maximum benefit. Nev
