The rear hub bearings are tapered roller and unique. With my rear hub getting the bearings out and reinstalling new bearings was fun in a I need a bigger hammer sort of way. Your bearings may come out easier. It should wiggle less with the brake plate and other parts you are missing. I can't guarantee it though. Mine does wiggle about 1/32". I can't say anything positive about the rear hub other than the spokes are straight pull and really easy to work with when lacing up a new rim, which by the way is also unique to the P11.

AMC Classic Spares has some parts for the P11 because the P11 shares pieces with Matchless scramblers, but the parts are not inexpensive, and you have to search through their database to see what they have. Very primitive website and it's not secure since they don't support credit card purchases. http://www.amcclassicspares.com/

There might be some P11/Matchless parts in the USA. You'll have to get your search on.
