Good questions! I suppose one could ask the supplier, but they =
aren=E2=80=99t always as savvy as they should be. Actually, I find =
AH4Healeys to know their stuff. Which leads me back to:-
Does anyone know whose set is the better of the =E2=80=93 I think =
=E2=80=93 two??
=20
And thanks for the replies. (Keep them coming!)

John,

What should the clearance be and how do you measure it? Also what is =
the torque setting for the nut?

Thanks.

I=E2=80=99ve had the AH spares trunnion bearings in for about ten years. =
It=E2=80=99s been a while, but my memory is that I had to add a shim to =

It=E2=80=99s not a dramatic difference, but it=E2=80=99s noticeable.

I fitted these some time ago; it seemed to make the steering a little =

The drawback was that on the original setup, the lift could be adjusted =
by choosing the correct spacer washer. To make this match the =
recommendation, I had to file down the top of the swivel axle.

The 'official' recommendation for lift is two thou with the top nut =
tight. I would not recommend leaving the top nut loose so as to get the =
two thou lift=20

There needs to be a better way of adjusting the swivel axle lift=20

All the best. =20

I=E2=80=99m tempted by an email from AH Spares touting their roller =
bearing kit for the front suspension=E2=80=99s top trunnion. (AH3000 =
MkII BT7). For the magical results described, it seems reasonably =
priced=E2=80=A6.
Have any of you tried this conversion?
Was it as easy as they suggest?
And, looking at AH4Healeys, it seems they=E2=80=99ve got their own =
version=E2=80=A6.has anyone tried that?
And is one kit known to be better than the other?
Thanks,
Simon
