Re: early 28 worm drive

Re: early 28 worm drive

thank you for great photos. my bearing is similar. it however has to cage to set balls in. they just roll free, with the 2/3 diameter ball width void. i will try to get a photo tonight. just want to be absolutely sure something is not missing in my bearing. thank you, kevin

Re: early 28 worm drive

the balls in my race do not have a cover. i have seen this many times but not with the space i speak of. not big enough for 1 ball, so that weeds out that possibility. no debris from a spacer. i will try to post a photo. unless someone has one like mine and posts it first. thank you, kevin
