So what was the reason for bending the endbell ears out, I don't think you followed up on that topic?

[@RPMs]

You are correct, I did forget to follow up. My apologies. It's for a couple of reasons, actually. First, to ensure solid contact between the hangars and ears. Second, to push and keep the hangars as far forward as possible to ensure that the pick-up shoes remain at the proper angle of attack. If the contact is not solid, the hangar will sag back, and the angle of the shoe will change, and your power and handling will suffer. Some people try to prevent this with sponge behind the hangar. That can sometimes cause other problems. Such as, if there is sponge holding the hangar forward, but your ear isn't bent properly, no contact will be made between the ear and hangar and your car just won't work.

Was it necessary to reduce the diameter of the armature shaft to fit the ball bearings?

[@RPMs]

I did not have to do that, no.
