New guy and A7 landspeed record build

[trevinoz]

Dan,
            A65 has an imperial bearing on the drive side and A10 has metric.
Timing side is 1 1/2" which is larger than A10.
   Trev.

Found it, it's about halfway down the page

Had thought about pressing a bushing on there to make the size difference but i think it's going to be too thin.

G'day Dan,
               All the A7/10 cranks have the same main bearings. The A65/50 is smaller on the drive side and I think larger on the timing side. I'm not 100% on the width but I thought they were the same. I have an A65 crank that I was playing with years ago and made a sleeve to go on the drive side to take the A7/10 bearing. That's as far as I got.
Cheers.

I did my measuring last night the inner bearing races are about .050 different in ID. That leaves a .025 spacer that would need to be made. I have my doubts about pressing soothing that thin on there. Looks like the only option is to weld and regrind. How did you do yours?

G'day Dan,
              I made a thick one, about 1mm wall thickness and the ID 2thou smaller than the shaft. Put shaft in freezer and heated the bush. it fell on then shrunk. Then put shaft in lathe and turned to size. I'd bet my house that it won't come off. Don't forget to chamfer the bush for the radius on the shaft.
Cheers
