mikeyb Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 typical! gave two of those away recently - the hard file bound ones too, not the paperbacks! I may have some spare hanyes manuals or equivalents at home, I'll have a look and see if the bearing data is included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Moore Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I picked up a set of .010" VP2 main and big end bearings from Chris Witor a few years ago. In fact now I come to think of it, that was in the days when you had to fax orders through as he didn't have email.The project they were for never came to fruition, so they went on the shelf. Fortunately the 2.5 crank I bought earlier this year has been ground .010" undersize, so after years in the box they'll finally get put to good use.Chris would be my first place to check if you want VP2s.
