My local supplier has located the inner axle bearing but they have a
$50.00 minimum order from their vendor. I'm going to buy 8 bearings to
get the minimum order and would like to sell 4 bearings to get some of
my money back.
Would you like a couple? Any one else need a couple?
My cost will be approx. $13.00 so your cost will be that per bearing
plus shipping. Their cost is around $6.50 a bearing and the difference
is their profit, shipping and local/GA state tax.
I'm beginning to realize the Big 3's markup is at least 100% on many
parts.

My first attempt at rebuilding the rear suspension and differential on
my 69 TR6 is moving along. Ah, the joy of taking things apart.
Although, my parents never viewed it as a gift.
TRF had most of what I need, however they are out of trailing arm bolts
(TRF # HB926) and differential bearings for the inner axle shafts (TRF #
134465). The trailing arm bolts mount the trailing arm bracket to the
frame. There are a total of eight of them.
TRF put these on back order, but since I'm not sure how quick they will
get them in, I would like to know if anybody can suggest another
supplier for the bolts. Neither Moss or BPNW show them on their web
sites.
Also, does anybody know a Timken (or other quality bearing) number for
these inner axle bearings? If I knew the number, perhaps I could get
them through a local parts supplier. With a Chicago Rawhide number, I
recently bought differential seals at NAPA for less than I would have
paid TRF.
Thanks for any help you can provide
