Hi robmog88
Thanks for that.
Mulberry bearings do have an excellent reputation.
The roller/needle bearings fitted to my +8 some years ago were, I suspect, offered as an alternative as the spring didn't need modification. They were nowhere near as substantial as the Mulberrys and probably therein lay the problem. I don't know, I'm no engineer.
So, I'm in a quandary! Do I overcome my mistrust of bearings or do I just go for AVOs with h/c king pins?
I'll let you know!
