What a great photo!  I have often wondered about the space between the =
distance piece and  the hub, now I have a good image =E2=80=93 thanks.

Michael, as I suggested in a reply long ago (I think in response  to you =
when you started on this), I do mine as David Nock suggested with no =
grease, as the grease makes it more difficult to detect play when you =
are setting it up.  However, I do put a little light oil (sometimes even =
WD40 on the bearings as I just cannot bring myself to assemble and spin =
them dry.

That is the edge of the inner race of the outer bearing.  I=E2=80=99ve =

OK, I see where the shims go in your cutaway illustration, but what is =
that thickness of material behind the tabbed washer and outside of the =
outer bearing?

Mike, I don't know if your installation is like a BJ8, but the shim =
thickness in my BJ8 is 0.047.  Make sure your assembly is like the =

Mike,

Yes, the factory parts list I have (AKD3523 shows the shims between the=20
outer bearing and the tabbed washer.  A previous owner drew an arrow=20
showing the correct location.  The shims go between the distance piece=20
and the outer bearing.

I've only done the shims on a few Healeys, but I've never seen that many =

shims required.  Less than 0.060" thickness required.

Can you send some photos of the hardware?  Are the parts from a later=20
BJ8, or earlier 3000 (different outer bearing, shims, distance piece,=20
etc)?  If the later BJ8, do you have the spacer that goes between the=20
axle and the inner bearing?

Cheers,
