Let me start off by saying that I am neither an engineer nor am I a machinist so some of my choices may not be correct. I'm happy to listen to any feedback as I view this as a learning experience.
That being said, I chose an angular contact bearing because the original bronze bushing was flanged and the e-clip that secures the assembly to the gear stud rides against the flange.
I do agree that there should be minimal axial loading but I'll be the first to admit that I don't always have the best form when grinding on a big fish.
I just finished machining the adapter.
I still need to turn the cap that covers the bearing. Then I can polish both of them and give anodizing a try. That should be interesting as I've never anodized anything before.

If you still have any 265 Microlites in stock I would like to purchase one as well. It will be used for mountain trout fishing here in North Carolina and panfish in South Florida.
Thanks!
