It will therefore be necessary to revise the tab positions, but we do want to retain regular dimension of tabs together with interchangeable top and bottom bearing halves. Regarding the thrust washers for the rear bearing we cannot exceed the outer dimensions shown on L.1108 but can increase the width of the washer by running into the radius of the crank, similar to EX.134.
