Hi guys I'm without means of taking a photo at the mo' so I'll do my best to describe what I'm looking at.......
the spindle has 6 splines on either side
the centre of the spindle is smooth with two small sections of thread at either side just before the ends where the splines are....
just found this exact picture......
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i236/citypets/48_1_b.jpgthat is the exact flight set, spindle and bottom bracket I have ...I think it's a 1981 set?
I hope this helps.....I'm now terribly confused as on looking at it , it's obviously not a sealed bb at all....?
If I can get the profile to work it will look the mutts!
Otherwise is this loose ball set up acceptable if I cleaned it up for a 82/83 build ?
many thanks again....this part of a build always gives me headaches!
cheers Ant.....very confused now
