VPI TNT Bearing question


Trolling the net tonight and ran across a site that showed a MK 5 bearing for the TNT which was attached to the table via a large threaded nut which screwed onto the bearing housing making the housing the equivalent of a giant bolt and nut.

Has anyone done this upgrade? Results? It was suggested that the improvement came from the different attachment method rather than any change in the bearing itself.

Thoughts and experiences?

That bearing, and its companion MKV platter is what I have on my TNT. According to Mike at VPI: "they are as good as anything we have ever made; including the Super Platter".
