I think it was Russ Elliot that took them, so they are probably gospel. I know in building my BB bogies I use Markits bearings, I don't like the Exacto ones and they are way expensive compared like for like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477613148069274.post-77822075766606340442011-03-06T21:17:33.635+00:002011-03-06T21:17:33.635+00:00I didn't realise about differing depth to bear...I didn't realise about differing depth to bearings. Even from the same manufacturer?<br /><br />The pin point axles in the first BB and MJT units are exactly the same length. Between the two BB units one axle is a Alan Gibson pin point the other a square ended Exactoscale axle which is 0.73mm shorter.Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673444445860206594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477613148069274.post-8692380354873855242011-03-02T07:57:14.101+00:002011-03-02T07:57:14.101+00:00Hi Jan,

Is that really the case?<br /><br />The other difference that it could be, and it's nothing to do with how you put the units together, is that the hollows in the bearings are different depths. People don't realise this, and it can make an enormous difference.<br /><br />FlymoFlymohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830364621909116784noreply@blogger.com
