re: 105 front wheel bearings & adjustment

[Matthew Killick <m.killick@domain.elided>]

Greetings

I recently posted a query about generic 105 series wheel bearings.  Thanks
to all who replied.  I now have the bearings and seals, shipped as a kit by
the unfailingly efficient (ahem) Turin Imports of South Australia.  

The bearings have the following codes: SKF 30206 J2/Q & SKF 32303 J2.  The
seals bear the legend AKRON(!) and the number codes 40 65 9 & 13186.

Re: the MB adjustment nut.  I phoned the local MB parts house who quoted
AU$52 each for the nuts, plus AU$6 each for the locking screws.  I'll be
giving that particular upgrade a miss, and relieving the back of the Alfa
nut instead, if neccessary.

Yuletide agenda: beach (early) for a spot of body surfing, light lunch
(salad and cold meat), poolside afternoon with cold beers, nice red with
light dinner.  Hope you all enjoy yours.

Cheers
Mat, Perth, Western Australia
