Lotus Elan and Lotus Elan Plus 2 Forums

After cleaning up the bearing face in the hub, I ground down an old bearing so it drops in, popped in the circlip and measured the gap.



Assuming shield IS 0.6mm (20 thou) it should be good to go.

I've also used another ground down bearing welded to a steel tube so that it drives both races at the same time. That works well. (so far!)

Thanks all for your help so far.

Got there in the end -



Now to actually fit them!

Congratulations!

Well done that man
