Hello All 

im having a right drama I need to replace the main and big end bearings on my 1147 Herald engine can’t find if they are standard or oversize… bearings for my mini engine were stamped STD / +10 etc etc but I’ve only got the VP numbers 

VP4446 main 

VP4445 big end 

I’m wondering if these are std numbers so I can get the right ones 

any ideas 

 many thanks 

I got a early 63 Herald with early wiper drive gears , do you know if the later 66 onwards ones will fit or do I have to get the whole lot … mine are both seized solid and the threads have gone , or has anyone got a couple laying around 

Hello Peeps 

wonder if anyone has a spare couple of rear overriders for a Herald 

not after new ones , as long as they have the fittings inside I’ll be a happy man 

silver coins waiting to pass
