If I recall correctly, the OB4 has an issue with the design of the front uprights: There is no inner "lip" to prevent the (unflanged) bearings from moving sideways. It might be possible to use flanged bearings, or modify the upright.

This was one of several issues with the car that made me finally give up on it. The concept was neat, but the execution... not so much.
