different inside diameter wheels

[Lynn Eades]

Perry, The 40 x 110 x 27mm bearings are employed across the range of carriers British, Australian and N.Z.built) I have no knowledge of the T16 but am interested to know why Ford decided to down size the hub / bearings etc.
I think you might find that the 40 x 110 was considered standard back then? Another factor that some might not know was that the early carriers were fitted with a semi thrust ball bearing (back to back) these were able to be dis assembled for cleaning. The inner idler bearing with the 50mm bore is still a very common bearing. (I'm sure you already know most of this)
