[DeTomaso] Rear Axle Bearings

[michael frazier]

Has anyone come up with a new or better tappered roller bearing conversion yet?  I'm not convinced it's even necessary if
your original items fit right...usually meaning the axle has been resized.  I have my uprights apart now and was just thinking about it.
I asked Dick Koch about his mod but never heard anything back.  The photos of this mod are shown on the Pantera Place site
but the view of the insert has been doctored to hide the details.  It's obvious how this set-up works but I thought there might be some
dimensions or suggestions.  There was also talk at one time about another refit using bearings from a Volvo or Subaru.  Maybe it was a 
Hudson, I don't remember.  I don't really have enough time before the Big Bend ORR to come up with a refit but if I put something together
later I'll post it.  Again, I think these roller bearing fixes are the long complcated solution to an easy question.  I just like to tinker.
