New bearings and seals

Preparing for the grease nipple. Nipple is M6 thread



Best is to drill about 28mm from the end, here the hole is a few millimeters less. Just enough clearance to bearing. One should be careful where to drill (especially if bearing are in place), there is not that much space to play with.
This pic shows the location of the outer bearing

The outer bearing is the smaller one without internal seal. New bearing in place



Inner bearing has an internal seal and is flush fit

Parts porn

Pics...



Antiroll bars are from 1.4XSI and 1.6 Rallye. Both rallyes will get nice shiny valve cam covers. I'm going to have the S1 rallye steels also cowder coated at some point, to white color of course.
