[QUOTE="davidd, post: 81703, member: 1177"] I am always amused when Randy, my flywheel builder, measures the bore of the big end of the Carrillo rod taken out of the flywheels and bounces the big end on an anvil to make it round again. I know he is doing it because he can. It will not stay round very long, but it is the best you can do. I think those who are riding around with Greg's conversions are really enjoying themselves and I would guess that there would have been little Greg could have done to those parts to improve the rider experience even more. I am not using exactly the same bearings, but when I set up the links everything fits quite nicely. On the racer I used one of the new lower links and I assume the play in the bearings allows them to work merrily while keeping everything as straight as possible. Everything has worked quite well without extensive measurement. The FF1's are done on the mill and the top link is reamed with a piloted reamer. I think plan B is very sensible and will serve these wonderful old heaps really well. David [/QUOTE]
