One other issue that we ran into was the radii on the spindles were quite a bit larger that the radii on the bearings. The bearings came from Speedway in a kit that they put together just for this conversion. Apparently, the outer bearing is the same as the original '40 ford but the inner bearing has a larger O.D. After a bit of grinding on the radius of the inner bearings, everything was ready for a good cleaning and then assembly.
