Shell tolerance (journal +bore) etc are given in the Honda information. You can probably mic them with a piece of silver steel inside the shells to make intelligent chart of what you have. Then assembly with plastigauge to verify with them in position to use those existing ones.
Welcome to the Forum - so do you build cycle frames for yourself or for specialist use such as track cycling?I ask as my younger brother is a keen cyclist currently riding A Mercian in the summer - reverting to Titanium in the winter months.
Colours you require areBrown, Green, Brown, Green, Green.Check the shells you already have carefully, at the bottom of the bearing, on it's edge, they are marked with the colour. Most times this has worn off but sometimes you can still see it. If you can find 2 of the same colour you can reuse them if of course they are in good condition. Browns are getting in short supply now, DS has to order them in, probably from CMS, he still has Greens however. They are priced at £16 a shell, so £32 a journal, they don't come as pairs. So 10 shells is £160 plus P&P. If your getting shells do it now, prices are starting to sky rocket as sources start to dry up for certain parts.
