My recently acquired T6 has headstock bearings that are very "notchy" and steering feels awful and dangerous.
Having dismantled the headstock, I see they are taper rollers with an OD of 54mm and an ID of 27mm; (width about 16mm); they also have some very heavy grooves in the shells which are the cause of the terrible steering.
According to my bearing catalogues, this seems to be a non-standard size, so what have other owners done? Is it a case of sleeving / grinding a standard taper roller bearing, and if so, which one? Or has the club had any made?
While I'm posting, my parts list seems to be missing the first few pages, so I'm having problems working out what "A", "B" and "C" means in the column just before the price column.
Thanks for any help.
