There are people who sell a needle roller bearing and inner shell that pops in the top of the column as a replacement.

I bodged a 28mm outer diameter 22 mm inner diameter bearing in choosing to run the rollers direct on the steering column and then wedged it inside a 28x33 bushing .

Inner diameter 22 mm (inner column) outer diameter 33 mm (inside of top of outer column)...annoying there is no standard bearing.
I fitted a dust seal on top to stop it filling up with dust.

 

i bought one from eBay as i don't have a lathe to turn one up but it works perfect

 

For a late bay? Thought the ones that are like the bluebird ones are for up to 74 only?

Do you have a link?

Cheers

I have one I didn't fit, yours for £15 posted

 

So will this fit a 77 bay? or will it require some fettling?

I'm confused on what we actually need.

 

yep thats the one you need
