Yes, allows for temperature variation, both bearing outer and brass ring are a sliding fit in the housing.Is that a ring of springs for bearing preload? I really like that.

When do you start on the lorry build?
I have been doing it hood. Sm half way through it now.
Would love to see pics of this diner when done.Yesterday I was working on a 737 fuselage (Death to all 737s!) that we chopped up to make into a temporary 'Diner' for a Stately Home. I had to trim down the Lav door from a 747 to fit the hole in a 737 bog unit. Strange smell from the wood/alloy door as I was cutting it. I hope everyone else had a more enjoyable day at work than me!
Hold your breath and hope it doesn't drop.
