The stem tube with no bell is some kind of
replacement. I have never seen a stock tube
with out bells on the ends. Im sure someone
will correct me if im wrong.
I doubt that the ball and race bearing will fit
the tube with out the bells on the ends.
From the looks of the race it the stock tube, it's
in very bad shape (NO NOT USE IT)
Are you trying to put the ball and race in the tube with no bells on the end?
When you had the stem out of the no bell tube
was there a stop for the race to seat on?
Is the race on the stem all the down to bottom
fork brace?
Thats all for now, till we get some of these question answered. Hope this helps
ditto,where do the races sit???????:blink:
