Front wheel Bearings

[fido]

Well, actually the wheels are supposed to be interchangeable on my 1948 rigid so I suppose my query concerns wheel bearings in general for it. Last MoT the tester mentioned there was slight play in the front ones so I need to change them before I take it back this year. I have a selection of bearings but all of mine are metric sizes. Can anyone tell me the bearing numbers (not the BSA part numbers) so I can buy some?

Not quite what you were asking but this may help if you do know the part number.

Thanks Jim. I can't find my parts book but I think they will be 65-5883, the same as the B31 rigid. I've ordered some 2" x 7/8" x 9/16" from "Simply Bearings".
