I seriously wouldnt use those red ones... they were far inferior in material makeup to the late silver ones. they tended to break up easily but if your careful with your car and keep things lubed you may be OK for a while. The silver ones are easy to get. Those bearings were quite a find! Congratulations! I sold out of mine years ago and have had ALOT of people asking me for them. Hopefully in the spring I can cut up some more rusty beams and have more available. Be sure you dont use bad arms with those choice NOS bearings, it would ruin them quickly. Grease seals are simply an O ring on the upper arms... no need to search any farther than your hardware store.
