[AJD] Model L steering box

[John Boehm]

If you could come up with the bearing number, that
would be great. Last year, I did try some bearings
from a bicycle shop. They were  close, but not close
enough to work. They were not New Departure, but a
made in Taiwan generic bicycle bearing.  Also,
received a tip from Ron Jungmeyer that he has used a 
bearing from Hartford Company. I tried to track that
down, but they were no longer being produced. So I am
still looking- I have about ten L/LA steering boxes
here that could use those bearings. Any leads or help
is appreciated!
