Good evening all !

I hope I find you all well !

Sorry for being quite over the last few weeks.

I've been working on the 411 S4 whilst i've been offline.

During that time i've done the following

Replaced all 4 shock absorbers on the car to new SPAX adjustable ones.

Cleaned down the full underside, arches and chassis and coated it all in black Hammerite and will be Waxoyling or Lanosealing it next.

Replaced all inner & outer wheel bearings, grease seals, ball joints and lubricants.

Had the gearbox rebuilt and upgraded the rear planetary from 3 pinion to a 4 pinion to cope with the extra bhp and torque from the rebuilt engine.

New radiator made by RadWeld who know Bristol rad's very well.

Bought a full set of brake discs, callipers, pads and fitting kits for front & rear.

Removed the grill and 4 headlights. Ive polished out the grill and ordered
4 x new Lucas headlight bowls.

Ill be posting pics soon for you all to have a gander !

Best

Hass

Hello,

Could you please be so kind and share with me the dimensions of the front wheel bearings and oil seals? This information is still missing in my parts list.

Regards

Thomas

Dear Thomas,

Yes of course, I have bought exactly the same as the originals on the car.

FRONT AXEL BEARINGS - 48548/48510 Dunlop Tapered Roller Bearing 34.925x65.088x18.034mm

FRONT AXEL OIL SEALS - 27618750D
(I couldn't find these online so bought a pair of them from Spencer Lane Jones, will share sizes when they arrive)

REAR AXEL BEARINGS - 2735X Bearing 60.72x73.03x19.05
(Again I couldn't find these online so bought a pair of them from Spencer Lane Jones, will share sizes when they arrive)

Other parts you may require for the rear axel hub if overhaulling :

BRG53 Halfshaft grease seal: £8.12 each
- Outer seal houses in pressed steel housing

BRG110 halfshaft oil seal: £14.59 each
- Inner seal, housed in end of axle casing

AXL140 grease seal housing: £37.54 each

- Housing for BRG53, sealing face often found to be warped and a source of leaks

GKT123 gasket, grease seal housing: £3.17 each


Kind regards,

Hass

Hello Hess,

thank you for going throu the trouble of writing down the part numbers. I have a question about the front hub bearing: The bearing LM48548/LM48510 is the outer or inner bearing? Do you also know the dimensions of the corresponding bearing?

Kind regards

Thomas

Morning H
Car looking great and coming together really quickly!
You should do the Southport Sprint in it and we can have a head to head!
Spurred on by you I'll update my rambling thread!
All the best
Andrew

Hi Hass,

many thanks for your reply, I have added this information to the partslist, which is updated by Kevin, in the resource section.

I would love to hear from you if you could add anything to that list.
