wheel bearings

[1556dk]

Hi, I've just joined as a new member, having found the EYMA as I was unsuccessfully searching the web for parts for a Garelli Katia. The worn original wheel bearings are the old type cup and cone, with separate balls and adjustable cones. These now seem to be obsolete and I'm hoping someone can help with advice, as to a possible alternative or substitution. This is just the first problem I've come across in the restoration and no doubt, it won't be the last, so I'll be very grateful for any ideas. Thanks in anticipation. Steve Jones.

I think the only thing to do is go on a Garelli owners club site and try to sorce some there or find out the sizes as ball bearings are easy to get but it is the cones,you could get them machined down a bit but they are made of very hard steel.
