In the process of rebuilding the box for the turbo and need to order some bearings. Anyone got any recommendations for suppliers before i go down the usual route of minispares?

I believe if you are a member on theminiforum you get a discount with Minispares which may make them cheapest? |

I got 5% last time I ordered. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

back on this and just checking prices and stumbled on this deal; have my reservations as there is nothing to confirm the suppliers. All comments welcome!

I think I only used the third motion double roller as that was an RHP, the diff bearings were chinese, still in the boxes, and the needles in all the other bearings were ever so slightly shorter than the originals, consequently were thrown in the bin.

That's a pretty good price Mark. to be honest, I've got vouchers to use at minispares and as I need a few other bits as well, I'll likely go with them |
