I bought new Bearing Retainers but they also proved tight to insert so I asked my local Machine Shop to 'ease' out the threads in the Hubs......which worked a treat......well worth £20 for both Hubs.
The way I looked at it was that I wouldn't like the next person who stripped a Bearing out to go through what I had to.

Just went to two machine shops, first place said they didn’t have the tooling to do it and the second wouldn’t turn a machine on for less than £50! Going To buy an oem one to see if it’s a better fit
Underdog1:
Just checked and the retainer I can’t get in IS oem :-\
I think l might try getting it in the freezer and heating the hub up with a hair dryer
Buuut on a positive note hagon are sending me the correct spring retainers for free even though I didn’t buy direct from them!
Underdog1:
Got a thread file on its way to try and sort this hub, retainer issue.
I need to wire up the new fuse box I’ve got to order some spade connectors,
What size spade terminals are used in the block connectors? I reckon it’s 4.8mm but I’m not at home this week to measure up
Underdog1:
Got the new retainers from hagon this morning so that’s the shocks sorted
Also my thread file arrived so spend 10 mins chasing out the thread on the front hip and bearing retainer..
Et voila!
Well worth the investment of a few pound!
Can do both internal and external threads
Underdog1:
Doing my carbs today in the US cleaner. Managed to round out one of the little screws in the carb slide,rats.
Easy out didn’t work, is just mullering the head even more.
Tried a very small drill from underneath but had no luck, decided to stop and have a think as the internal threads will be very delicate
Suggestions appreciated!
