"That is an excellent line of thought Neil   The axel flange plate does have the outer bearing race retained so don't see there being any float. The bearing outer diameter is larger than the recessed part of the plate. hope that makes sense. Happy for..."

"I find it interesting that it has a Speedometer which is both made in USA and also in KPH. I believe it to be original, a quick google shows Japan went metric in the 1920s.   Also digging the spare wheel recess."
