Hello John
There are two sizes of first motion shaft (spigot shaft) depending on the gearbox being used. The very early close ratio gearbox had a larger diameter end to the shaft. Your 4 bolt crankshaft being in a slightly later car with the semi close ratio gearbox uses the same internal diameter bearing (.590?) as the 6 bolt crank. If you still have your old bearing but it?s just worn then it can be machined out and the roller bearing that is used in the 6 bolt crank can be pressed into place. If you don?t have your original bearing then a steel sleeve can be machined of the same OD with the roller bearing fitted.
