Internal diameter of Phil Wood BB cups
Does anybody has any idea about the INSIDE diameter of the Phil Wood Bottom Bracket cups?
See, I found at an LBS some NOS cartridge bottom brackets (old Japaneese stuff), looking like Phill Woods, (two threaded cups with counter locknuts, cartridge BB, which you can fix a bit to the right or to the left, correcting the chain line). Since the cups are standard British threaded, and I need to put them on an old Raleigh frame-26 tpi-, I wonder if I could get only the PhilWood 26tpi threaded cups, and use with them the Japaneese cartridge BB-if I'm lucky of course!!
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance!

As Sheldon Brown has noted, you can put Phil rings on a Shimano UN-72 sealed unit, so unless you're using some really obscure cartridge BB, I'd think it would work.

Neal, thanks for the quick answer! The BB though, is not a UN-72! That's why I asked for the P.W. cups diameter!(UN-72s, are hard to find anyway!)

30mm: that's correct (and so is calling them "rings" cause that's what Phil does 
), and I have one old SunTour BB unit that is also 30mm OD, and it has no cups, steps or threading on the center barrel. Unfortunately, this SunTour unit has a 127mm spindle ( it was for a Mtn. bike) so I've never had a use to mount it and try it out.

So, it seems that the ID of the Phil Wood "rings",is 30 mm. One of these days, I'll visit my LBS with a caliper in hand. And I'll let you know what the BB bracket is, and it's dimensions of course.
Once again, thanks a lot "unworthy1", "TejanoTrackie" and "nlerner".Great help!!
