[HappyHookerAUS]

G'day guys i was wondering if anyone has been successful in adding a AR bearing to a Avet sxj before?

Haven't specifically looked,  but I'll bet there is enough room.

plenty of room, upon inspection the shaft actually measures 7.98mm diameter with a width room of 14.7mm, this is the room between the inner main gear bearing and the outer bearing (handle shaft). The outer diameter room of 14.2mm.

i found these online by boca bearings

im not going for reliability on ar bearing here, its simply just there for a better feel when jigging, not like i really mind it but I'm just the the type of bloke that if can be improved.. why not do it.

ok the bearing have come in and it stated that it had a OD of 14.2mm.. upon measurement they are 14.9mm.. is this because they have to be pressed in and will "squash it"?
