[Walney-Reptiles]

Hiya again folks

So i have some good news i have started at a garage as a welder / fabricator repairing rotten sills on vans, cars, buses etc....

My boss is kind enough to let me redo and weld new nuts and other work to all my parts before he sends it all off for powder coating, i have one question regarding the suspention linkage and bushes etc... I dont want to pay £355 for genuine yamah bearings and oil seals etc... so i want to know what size bearings i can get as a replacment instead of the standard roller bearings i wanna use ball bearings instead anyone know what size bearings i will need?
