Just to either throw more light, or confuse you further. My SKF Automotive catalogue of 1985 says that you can interchange 09067 and 09074 cones with 09194, 09195 and 09196 cups. 09194 has a greater radius on the outer "inside" face. I would not feel happy about swapping about between manufacturers, though." Know thy Beast" covers the various bearings in the "Wheels" chapter. Be manly, bear up and play the game, Bob!
H: Hubs, Wheels and Tyres brakes

Three months ago that would have meant putting them on the door step.
I have finally returned to my brakes project...this morning I carefully shimmed the bearings so that the axle has almost zero end float with the bearings fully home. After some cursing & delicate work with a mallet I installed the brass seals...only to find that with the seals flush with the outer face of the hub the hollow axle is locked solid, refuses to rotate.. I assume that I either have to machine the seals very slightly to allow the bearing to protrude without fouling, or not press the seals in quite so much..or...is it possible that shimming the bearings on the axle is not required, allowing the axle some end float?
Anyone?
Anyone?

its brass Bob, you just give it a few turns than it will free up, with a very nice to zero gap.
The front fender stay fouls the speedo drive...I guess I'll flatten the stay to clear it. R.Watson kindly dug a few B.S.F bolts out of his shop supplies to supply me with ones to use with spacers for the rear stays, and next week Ill get my brake lever perch brazed up after I stupidly tried to tap the brass with a fine tap...Next time Ill use a coarse tap.
