While we're on the subject.....
I see quite a few Vandervell bearings offered on e-bay - are these the
original trimetal or are they some other product in a Vandervell box????
How can you tell trimetal originals from later substitutes???

We'd recommend Vandervells but they are unobtainable -- haven't been
made
for some time I guess.
So we end up with Glaciers or something made in Israel. Actually, if you
don't overly abuse them, they do the job.
Try West Michigan Imports (Grand Rapids) who is a Britcar shop with lots
of
parts (just rebuilt my 1147 race engine) -- 616-878-5774 or
