Re: [T3] Front needle bearings

< Leon can you describe the thrust component of the assembly?
I will make a CAD drawing for this and other components for Russ
and make it available for anyone. I will convert it to jpeg format
so it can be printed and viewed.

To describe it in words is : The part that goes in the tube shaft 
together with the bearing is 7mm deep and outer diameter is
44mm and inner diameter is 35.5 mm.

The part that sticks out and is against the arm and acts as a
thrust bushing surface is 53 mm outer diameter and 3mm thick.
Behind this and against the suspension tube but after the 
part that sticks in the tube (paragraph above) is 65 mm
wide metal substructure or frame of the thrust assembly.
This acts as a sealing surface for the "o" ring or gasket that sits there.
Mine is made of plastic with a metal "subframe".
You will see when drawing is done. I am not an expert CAD
guy but I wanted this for my records anyhow , in 
case I want to make or find replacements that fit.

Will keep you posted.
