Sorry Colin our posts crossed so didn't see your comments on the "mystery" chunky bearings before my last. Explains a lot though. Over to you Steve although I think your fitter/supplier owes you an explanation as a minimum.

The chunky steering bearings came from Peter Mulberry, he used to sell them along with shorter main springs. I have a set kicking around somewhere, I used them before I switched to SSL.

Yep! I'd agree they look like Mulfab bearings. As far as I remember Rutherford used to fit PTFE shims prior to bearings being available.
