Slowly making a start on my new hz xx7 project

[Cocko750]

A lil bit more progress on the van. Recon the steering column with retro fit bottom bearing. Then pulled apart and painted.
Sandblast and paint steering box. Sand and Paint tail shaft. Brought a new fuel pump and fitted. Also brought a 650dp carb.
Avoiding panel work until my motivation level increases.... Sanding, sanding, sanding��

This is the retro fit bottom bearing. Very simple mod as u can't buy a bottom bearing any more.

Looks good !!save me doing it when I go back home (if I remember), what bearing fits ,looks like a standard sealed single roller , nice work on the rest of your van too .

It's a 6205 std roller, I took a lil out of the ID and it's a tight fit on the shaft. And I just skimmed a bit off the old plastic part to get it sitting neat.... That sound confusing but u will understand when you do it yourself.
I might start rebuilding a few. After seeing the price of them on evilbay

Where would get one of those bearings from

[Cocko750]

6205 is a standard bearing from any bearing centre or parts place should have them or get one
