[TowerTalk] UST Sheaves

[Bob K6UJ]

Mike,

Thats an excellent upgrade to the sheaves.  I have replaced two of the 
sheaves on my HDX589 and
if I need to do some more in the future I would like to do like you did, 
replace the bearings with waterproof sealed
bearings.  Do you have the specs on the bearings you got from Kaman 
Bearings ?
