Hi

I have an old 79 uni drive transmission with worn out main bearings.

I live in France and am having great trouble getting inch and a half internal by two and a half external by half inch races.

The European dealers dont have stock , and bearing companys don't seem to be able to help.

I called several specialists in the states but to no avail.

 

Any ideas please guys

 

Thank you in advance

 

Dave

They are no longer available. The only solution is the find good used ones, or do some machining as described in several threads here on the forum. I have seen many used ones on eBay from time to time.

Mike (racinfool40) sells used sets of the #1533 bearing and he does ship over seas.  Send him a PM.

 

BTW...welcome to Red Square.  :)

Thank you very much guys.

That is a great help.

 

I can get 2 5/8 od here in france , so it will be easier for me to get the chap in the village to bore the castings.

 

Once again thanks for your help,

 

Dave

Double-check the width of the bearings as well.  IIRC, the 2-5/8 OD bearigns were a slightly different width then the WH1533s.
