[QUOTE="nkt267, post: 42711, member: 245"] Has anyone out there ever tried to reclaim a very worn drive end bearing housing on a K1F? The mag that was restored about 3 years ago let go of the drive end bearing, another trip home in the recovery van. It appears that the drive end must have been worn when it went to the restorers as there were 2 insulating washers in that end. The problem about doing this again is that 2 will not do the job, also it is my view that fitting 2 insulators moves the oil seal up the taper. Yes the mag was full of oil as well. I was told by one guy to epoxy the bearing in,complete with insulator of course, but I'm not sure about this( or what would be the best epoxy. I'm thinking of machining the recess out and shrinking an alloy ring in and machining back to size. Anyone any better ideas, and yes I know I can buy a BTH for nearly £600..John [/QUOTE]
