[AJD] Model L steering box

[Duane Larson]

John,
I have in my notes that a #42 bicycle bearing will work.   May be worthwhile 
checking with a bicycle shop.  I tried to send a pix of the bearing but it 
was too large a file.  The link below will show it, if that goes thru. 
Apparently the #42 is a 6806-2RS 30x42x7mm ball bearing.
Regards,
Duane
