There are commercially available press fit sleeves to fix this situation but my google foo is letting me down finding a link. They are basically a tightly corrugated sleeve that distorts evenly as the undersized bearing is pressed into it

Yeh, that's been playing on my mind too. I didn't know about the sleeves so thanks for bringing them to my attention, I shall look into them forth with :)

My pleasure, I prefer the forum format anyway really. I've been concentrating on developing my YouTube channel recently and used the restoration as a platform as there's very little on YouTube regarding Westbury mills and felt others might benefit.
I hadn't planned on posting the restoration on forums and as a result I haven't any WIP pics of previous progress but I have a few mods planned that you guys might get a kick out of, hence starting the thread.
