Cement mixer?

I know, I know, I have looked at pictures in the manual.
Will need to get out the trusty arc welder & an old hydraulic jack to make a press!!!
I seem to spend more time making tools than taking it to pieces and at this rate I won't be riding for another couple of years!
Can you point me towards a source for the roller bearing?
Thanks again, Keith

Thanks guys. As it's not much of a bike yet, my first thought was exactly like yours R.
However, my natural instinct is to follow Goldy, but I have hesitation about parting the flywheels as the set-up instructions in my manual are a little vague & I do not have micrometers or vee-blocks, etc.
I saw a guy in Israel selling a complete big end assembly on e-Bay for $80, but could not be sure about the part number he had, and it could be even worse than mine!

British Bikes / BSA C15 BIG-END BEARING

I have just started work on my 1960 BSA C15, which has been sitting around not running for a good few years since the clutch apparently disintegrated.
Before starting to restore anything or hunt missing parts, I decided to check out the guts of it!
First concern is the big-end bearing of course. I do not know what it sounded like when it was running, so I started the dismantle. There is 1.5 to 2.0 mm (0.060 to 0.080") movement from side to side at the little-end. Does anyone know if that is going to work or is the big-end already at the end of it's life? I don't want dismantle the flywheel/crankshaft assembly or get it re-built if I don't really have to.
