Ciou Ducatisti, Does anyone have, or know of, the modern bearing specs that equate to the old RIV bearing codes? I guess this question will have been asked previously, but I couldn't find it when seacrching on the forum. Any pointers welcome. The codes in which I am interested are: RIV 3 A, 30-62-16mm * (main bearings) RIV O1 A, 17-40-12mm RIV 1 A, 20-47-14 RIV ELL 25, 25-47-12mm RIV O1 APL, 17-40-12mm RIV 1 APL, 20-47-14mm RIV EL 30, 30-55-9mm *(?) (clutch bearings) RIV 02 A, 15-35-11mm (FAG 6202, I believe) RIV 3 AOn, 15-35-11mm * (bottom bebel sleeve gearings, angular contact?) RIV 02 AJ, 15-35-11mm * (top bevel gear, self aligning?) Yes, this is a list of the bearings in the small singles! Of course, most will be standard metric types and can be identifed by their sizes, but some will have a more detailed specification, probably those shown with "*". Sigean
All the bearings are standard, use a good quality like SKF. The ones with an asterix are probably C3 which have a slightly slacker tolerance to allow a bit for alignment. i have built a few
