Wanted Shimano Left cup Square Taper BB

[albash82]

Does anyone have non drive side cups for Shimano square taper BB's in your stash? I require one for a UN71 that I got nos, just missing the left cup. It's 68mm. BSA
Cheers, Al

would it be one of the greyish plastic ones?

I feel like in 71/2/3 that they might be been metal, but I reckon I can make it work. What's worst that could happen?
Suppose it could just end up loose and I ride it and knacker the threads in a near 30yr old frame.... Be reet!

No but seriously I think I have a plastic cup that I found, on the Un7x BB I have in my lava Dome, as I got a few of these BB's NOS without packaging or cups. I used a few wraps of PTFE tape around the end of the unit, just be sure it was a snug fit. That was about 8 years ago and it hasn't come loose... not that I've done big mileage on it though...

Oh wow, I really rambled on there... what I should have said was
"Hi Paul, sounds great, I'll pm you about it"

 

[Paul R]

No worries haha

Do you need the straight sleeve or t'other side with a flange?. Either way they weld themselves to the body big style. I will see what I have at the weekend, as a back up.
