Hi Alan...up to when you said the Indian ones were Metric I had always thought they must be the same, I can't imagine why they would have needed to change unless the the threads on the pin ends were changed to metric but that would not have changed the bush size necessarilly. I reckon you need to find out just for the record Alan....LOL.....my feeling is that they are the same. I would always recommend the roller conversion....the bush seems to be the curse on the Bullet engine, some get an excellent long life out of them them some only achieve a few thousand....who needs that kind of worry?

The Indian big end bush will fit [certainly post '55] Redditch machines and even the unit 350 Bullet. The metric 'difference' only applies to crank mainshaft and main bearing dimensions. Where some of these bushes originate from and how long they might last is anybody's guess, but a good quality plain bush will go for a very long time as long as it is getting a reasonable amount of clean oil fed into it. -- Paul.
