If you have one to hand old or new post the bearing detail and ill check my catalouges for you, all the info is on the bearing cage's.

Own the day

thanks but I dont have one to hand its in the gearbox and my grandads house

I believe there is a shortage of these bearings, Some one said that there will be new stock around decemeber, but if you can find some one who has one, buy it, dont hang around.

Ebay is probibly a good bet for New Old Stock

http://www.minispares.com/Product.aspx?pid=35662 its this bearing everywhere I've called dont have them in stock.

Minispeed said they had good 2nd hand ones but for peice of mind I'd like new

^^^

You have no idea how long I have looking for a double roller! Mine came out in bits, minispares were asking £50 in the begining but when I ordered one they said they were out of stock. I contacted hythe performance as they were selling them for £25, but when I went to order they said that it would cost £75 and finally minisport say they are negotiating with a supplier (thats been 2 weeks of negotiating now). Minispeed say they are the only place in the world that has them, I haven't contacted them yet though. I need to get the gearbox together sharpish too!

I rang minispeed today and they dont have any new ones... even tho the website says they are the only ones who have them in stock

Looks like we will have to sit it out until they become available. I think the prob is the ones that they have been selling are rover sourced, they now have to go get someone to make them. Be prepared to pay a lot when they become available again!

Just came off the phone to KAD said they were expecting some in the next "couple of days"

They have my name and number so hopefully will get back to me soon

What the problem is here a guys

minispares commissions 2500 of them but on negotiation with SKF they said we will supply you 2500 but... we reserve the right to make an extra say .. 500 and we will sell them to who we think at our price

This has happened to minispares before say a figure of £20 per bearing to minisapares and then SKF turns the other 500 out for £15 to other speed shop companies

this pissed Keith Dodd off at minispares so he told them to stuff it.

in short that is what its about.

expect them to be expensive for any you find now and in the future

i hope minispares sort this out

Someone on here must have the details on the bearing? An independant supplier would be your best bet like bearing trader or similar.

I purchased a new-unused bearing a few weeks ago when I first heard of the 'drying up' of parts... It is far from a good state of affairs.

Sorry - but I'm keeping mine in case this all turns to crap - or the new bearing quality is dubious (as can happen).

They are due end of December

hope so gavin, do you know how many?

i have one brand new in my garage if you wanna know what the markings on it are!

well glad i kept some good used ones then, may need them , bugger if im going to pay £70 for bearing, i will when i run out of my good used stock though

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

Unfortunatley i can't give an exact figure but we will have enough to supply demand without any problems. They won't be £70 either lol.

I was also about to order one (although I have two good used ones) so I've done a bit of phoning...

Moss Europe are also out of stock but have estimated delivery dates of late October and mid November. Their price is £33.95 (+ VAT) compared to MiniSpares currently showing £48 (+ VAT) and Moss are having a VAT free offer for orders over £99.

They said if I ordered now they would just send it once it's back in stock.

Tempting to dream up £99 of bits I don't yet need.....

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

Why dont you try 'guessworks' on 'the mini forum', i would think he would have a few of these on the shelf as he builds mini gearboxes

Get me some info off of the bearing cages and I can get them over the counter.

So long as you can direct them to the correct box and they have it they will sell it.

If you have the bits you have the numbers get looking and ill pop next door and ask.
