Title: What BBs are era correct for Redline 401s ?
Post by: factory pilot on October 29, 2016, 03:32 PM: I'm thinking of getting some single pinch flights for my next build but would really like a sealed bearing BB for it.
It's going to be an 84 build so I know techmatics are too late ( advertised in 86 but not out till 87 apparently )
Hadleys would be okay but rare as hens teeth .. Do I have any other options?
Cheers Ant
