RE: [T3] Front end bushings and bearing


Thanks Jim, but I do have good used ones I can check  The Torrington
reference is helpful. With the spec's I can see if something matches up or
see what it would cost to have some made.

I gather that what you actually saw were some bearings and bushings much
like
ours, and this got you to thinking that this company could also make our
parts 
if they just knew the right dimensions. It would be useful to know what
kinds 
of quantities they would need to make to make this feasible. I suspect that
the 
bushings would be much easier to tool up for than the bearings.

BTW, my sources here tell me that those front axle beam bearings are the
style 
that would be known as "Torrington bearings." They are a needle bearing with
a 
thin outer race, meant to be stiffened by installation in an outer support.

I have some used bushings and bearings here. I can measure them, but I'm not

sure that would give us the exact specs.

I'm sure we can find Peppermint Patties somewhere on the way to Oregon. ;-)
