Good Golly Bruce

You've just reinvented the modern version of the Jensen 25 ..... and put it on some very serious steroids!!!

Nice Work ... Nice Video .... thanks for sharing all of that with us!

The BB's make such a difference Bruce. How did you find BB's the right size?

they are on eBay Jim , you can get flanged or unflanged , anymore I mostly use flanged type for the Jensen stanchions. the bearings are 3/8" od x 3/16" id x 1/8" thick, the #35's don't have enough material left over to mount bearings , so a lug must be soldered on 1st.

Thanks Bruce, of course you know where this is heading I want to copy your idea on some of my Jensen's.

If I have no luck finding them, I might bother you for some links.

I'd like to add them also to two Jensen genny's that I have and make them into BB gennys like that one that I bought off John who used to do them for Jensen.

Jensen #15 gennys are the best use of ball bearings , but they are tricking & Jensen quite doing them because the stanchions aren't even close to parallel & are very arduous in getting them set up properly.
good luck with "BB'ing" your next engine & I'd be happy to help anyway I can.

My apologies Bruce, I wasn't clear enough in my question. The one that I am interested in is this little beauty -

[ Guests cannot view attachments ]
I realized that after a minute Jim.... it was Bill (AirSpyder), Wejco who made these ...after he made those other full sets yrs. ago , I think these were made about  a year ago and they are excellent & I'm grateful to have it.😊
