[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 14093, member: 4034"] Must be the first time in decades that "Killer White death" headlines are actually justified. Spike Milligan claimed that all British tabloid newspapers - in the days of hot-lead printing - kept popular headlines as sets, and that one of them was "Killer White Death Strikes Britain for First Time in 12 Months". Good news doesn't sell. As Peter Cook once observed, no newspaper ever sold as much as a single extra copy with a headline that said "Millions of Britons got through yesterday without any problems, really, considerin'". But we did. Any pointers to the finish of spoke flanges? Were they cad plated? Having now got off my lazy ass, waded chest-deep through an inch of snow to the garage, in defiance of police warnings (as though we were all children and THEY were the grown-ups) not to make unnecessary journeys , and consulted KTB, it is now clear that my wheel bearings are Imperial and being numbered 09095, are the narrow version, 9/16" wide not 11 /16". Plausibly, the spacers - in section like a squashed hexagon - are there to make up the difference, although I haven't yet found them in print. Tom [/QUOTE]
