Many thanks Brian and everyone for all your help. I finally got the bearing carrier out and it was the pin as you thought Brian, somehow it had worked its way loose. The whole area does seem original and nothing had moved so I tapped the pin back in and filled the space with solder and used a centre punch to crimp the end over that I reckon it should work ok. The parts I ordered arrived today which once again is amassing. You all rock over there. I ordered a Clymers manual with the order, you informed me Brian that it was out of stock and you had them on a back order. Could you send me one when you get them in. Once again many thanks and kind regards to you all in the west.

Your service for new parts I’ve bought in the past has been impeccable
Thank you for your prompt response to my faxed inquiry this morning. Had I known you people are good for second-hand spares I would have made you my first port of call because: Your response to inquiries is always prompt Your service for new parts I’ve bought in the past has been impeccable. Your quoted price for the second-hand parts was considerably less than the price I naively accepted(and less that another price that came again after yours as well.) I am sorry to have wasted your time and phone call. You’re first on the list next time.
