I have used NGK B6S  Ade.

The NGK website  http://ngkntk.co.uk/index.php/downloads/   lists B7S which is a slightly softer plug.   I was having trouble with fouling plugs with B6S so I have changed them.  So far so good.

Cold Metal Spraying can rebuild corroded blocks and heads and replace broken lugs etc in pretty well any metal.  See my post Fingers (and toes) crossed on Lambda forum.   Nick Gilfillan at http://www.cylinderheads.co.uk/ mobile +44 (0) 7768 622448 is the man to talk to.

PROP SHAFT CENTRE BEARING
...is the top one on the list.  It is an unconstrained roller bearing presumably to allow compliance with the old type fabric discs.   The housing is a simple split one that fits onto the bearing and requires gentle heat to release it.   There are felt type oil seals either side.   Thank you to Simon for the info. sheet.
