Went to the local bicycle shop today and got the bearings. If someone else is going to do one of these, here are the bearings you need:

Pedal crank: qty22 of 1/4" ball bearings
Headstock: Qty 62 of 1/8 ball bearings
Pedals (poppet ball to retain pedal shafts in or out) qty 2 of 7/32

Also bought the top nut for the headstock which was missing. Turns out it is a standard size. It will have to do until an original is found.

I expect some progress tomorrow. It should start looking like a bike again. I still have to find the BSA wheels, some war grade tires (if possible) get the seat order in, and find a complete front brake assembly and lever.

If only carriers went together this quick.
