I installed TRF cam bearings in my TR6. In 1997, they cost $84.96 at that
time (Part #TRFCD11, described as "T56 BEARING SET CAMSHAFT") and--as
expected--they came in a package marked "Spitfire Mk III".

A call to TRF would tell you whether they still supply these bearings and if
they have them in stock. I also wouldn't hesitate to ask why they're more
expensive than the Cambridge bearings - there may be more to that story than
meets the eye.
