FTR Technical Bulletin No. 01A
AMENDMENT TO BULLETIN No. 01
Bearing Carrier (FTR-202)
This bulletin replaces FTR Technical Bulletin No. 1. Note that the retaining washer has been reduced in diameter to
23mm. This is to ensure that the washer cannot interfere with spacer LD5-229-4. The new WSH-051 will be available from
Hewland Engineering.
Existing WSH-051 must not be fitted unless they have been modified in diameter to 23mm.
It has come to our attention that there is a possibility of the bearing outer track (BEA-002) moving out of position during
use.
To overcome this problem Hewland Engineering will be adding a 5mm tapped and countersunk hole to the bearing carrier
for a bearing retaining screw & washer to be fitted.
All our existing and future stock will feature this tapped hole. Its is recommended that all FTR-202 Bearing Carriers are
modified as shown below and fitted with an M5 x 10mm long Countersunk screw & washer (Hewland Parts: SCR-023 &
WSH-051).
The tapped hole will break out of the casting and therefore hydraulic sealant must be used when fitting the screw. This will
not be the case on future castings which will be modified for this reason.
