everal weeks ago, I posted a request for ideas on a fix for spun bearing races on the front hubs of my H. I tried to peen the inside surface per a couple of the suggestions, but the gap was too great. I didn't feel comfortable with just using Lok-Tite (another suggestion), so I checked with a local machine shop, and they offered to weld a bead and then machine it down...for $50 a hub.

I was out of ideas, so I went to an old timer I had bought used parts from in the past...he had both of the races tight in in less than five minutes...for free...

He snipped a strip of tin stock the appropriate size, ringed the new race, and wacked it in the hub with a socket and hand sledge...and they are really in there! He thought that IH used to sell a shim for this purpose...

Guess I missed your earlier post. You can get shim stock from auto supplies or machine shop suppliers in brass, steel, stainless, and plastic sheets. You can get assortments or bulk of different sizes. Best to just find a shop that carries it and then you can just get small sheets of different thickness. The tin has always worked too. Even cut from a tin can.
