Russel Ah ok.
You may want to try and source the AC dual thrust bearings in the metric size while you can (while they are still available.) 3MDJT25. (got two eventually at £45 each)
Also confusion was caused over the roller bearing (RHP MRJ 1 1/8.....apparently with differing arrangements of lips on the races.....you need the one that has no lips on outer and two lips on inner. One place said it was available but at £250.......eventually got for £63.06 + £12.61 VAT = £75.67
Of interest also may be the two small lugs I built up in arc weld 180 degrees apart on the axle casing and the pinion bearing sleeve so that you can use a screwdriver between them to prize the torque tube + sleeve away from the axle without damaging the shims and also ensuring the sleeve remains with the torque tube and does not remain in the axle as it tends to if you just grasp the torque tube and try to wiggle it out.
