I can't get logged back into SpeedTalk. But want to help someone there. Perhaps someone could forward this info?

Please note I don't wish to debate the Australian gent's issue/approach; only to provide him a part number for what seems an odd size that he's seeking.

Speedtalk user "apm" has had his BBC crank's MAINS turned 0.060" undersize but cannot find matching 0.060" undersize MAIN bearings
Seems there's good reason as it seems neither Mahle-Clevite or FM offer BBC MAINS in 0.060" undersize.

However, seems KING does offer 0.060" undersize BBC MAIN Bearings but in Only one version/style... Silicon (Aluminum?)
Anyway, it's KING pn MB 556SI060 … and No, summit doesn't offer that size.
I do see a set on Amazon for right at $75 USD

Perhaps someone here can get into their Speedtalk account and find this thread
http://speedtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=55721

and pass on to user "apm" KING pn MB 556SI060

thanks

Thank you, sir. Maybe that'll help him "get his bearings."

Lol, yes sir! Nice to see Speedtalk up and running again.

I've seen .050's but this is the first I've heard of .060. That's a big cut, but there's no reason it shouldn't be fine. Owner posted on SpeedTalk that it's been re-nitrided.

Happy ending for him Jackson. Nice job!

Yes, I see... and You too! … AND … AND I figured out what I was doing wrong AND... I got logged in! (ST user rebelyell) YAY!

I'd been just lurking there for a while but joined only quite recently... JUST before Mr. Terrill's Speedtalk forum paused upon his passing away. So, I'd never posted as I don't think I had much to add …Until BBC bearing quandary. Thanks for joining that effort.
