Bottom bracket won't fit 1973 Fuji S10-S
I'm trying to install a new bottom bracket in a 1973 Fuji S10-S frame and the thing just won't fit. The BB is a BB-UN26. It seems the diameter is bigger than what would fit in the hole and the threads don't even appear to have a prayer of catching.
Has anyone else encountered this or know of a different standard BB I should be using?

Nothing new about zebra [or light controlled] crossing on roundabouts. Sheffield has had them for decades, possibly since the 1970s.

If the bottom bracket is threaded for the Italian standard then the drive side is a right hand thread, in which case use, for example, BB UN55.
If the original BB is as described then supplied part is wrong
Hi Mike, not a direct answer and I dont want to insult you or your level of knowledge but when you say the thread wont catch, do you know that the drive side bearing is a left hand thread?
