MB Rear hub bearing on Italian & Spanish Series 2 casings

[Supereibar]

Hello peeps, me and a couple of mates here in Spain have run into a problem when intending fitting the MB RT hub bearing. When fitting into a Series 3 undoubtfully they prove to be an excellent fit and feel very well to the turn. Strangely tho, once fitted to the Series 2 spanish casings, you can remove the bearing with your hand. Its not a tight fit.

I mentioned the problem to Ian Hepworth who was very receptive and willing to carry on further investigation, so I had the intention of compiling information to offer as an extra help, in order to make new measurements to benefit us series 2 users. To see if this is a problem that happens to all the casings or just to a few of them.

Has anyone else had this problem with a Spanish or Italian casing?

Regards,

Jaime
