If they're the same as heavyweights there's plenty on ebay.

From your photos you have the James/Francis Barnett type forks mitz so heavyweight type bearings will be no good.

A quick look on AJSMOC spares seems they have the bearings and seals available but i couldnt see the cups. Hope that helps.Edited by - bigwol on 14 Jun 2012 08:47:15 AM

No cups available from the parts service but it is one item that we are being asked for on an increasing basis. At the Open Day I spoke to Malcolm at Andrew Engineering and until they have a complete set to use as a copy then they cannot proceed with manufacturing replacements.

These folks were well used do any other models / clubs have patterns to match (James Folks) Ian

The Fanny B and James cups are different to the ones used in the AMC frame according to Malcolm (he should know, he supplies them) that's why he can't produce any for us at the moment.

It was just a thought. I was thinking of the Jubilee Norton specifically. But I will bow to supplier knowledge.
