[QUOTE="A_HRD, post: 11764, member: 49"] [b]Partial Success[/b] [COLOR="DarkRed"]An update, for what its worth. I managed to get some high quality steel balls from my bearing supplier which were of 17/64th diameter. (They weren't cheap mind at 25p each). They fitted perfectly into 2 sets of my old-stock steering-head races - eliminating all sideplay without increasing the overall height of the assembly. But they were too big for the other pair which have been machined differently. Also, worth a mention, I bought a cup and cone from Vinparts the other day (while they had their 10% discount :) ) and the quality of finish and the fit of the standard 1/4 balls was pure perfection, absolutely mint. Thanks Russell and Debbie. Peter B Bristol, UK. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
