Hi Rich,

The 90mm sounds a bit odd to me. Did you measure the hole that the seal fits into with a vernier? If not you may actually have a hole which is closer to 89mm which is very close to 3.5 inches and 13mm is near enough to 1/2 inch (12.7mm). I would check that measurement again as 3.5 x 2.5 and 1/2 inch thick sounds far more likely.

Regards Frank.

Hi, -
Henk- bearings are 6406 (30/90/23 ) and 6210 (50/90/20) =bore/OD/thickness.- Frank the bearing sizes are where the 90mm comes from! cheers, rich.

Someone told me once the bearings are metric.

Thanks for the info.

Another person told me that the super pulley was smaller than the new or power pulley. Would this be correct?
And would the bearings and seals be the same size?

He this foto bucket works?????????????

Any ideas of UK stockist of an original type seal -there is slight wear on pulley where seal runs, so I would prefer the leather type. Ta , Rich
