[Fot] FW: TR3 axle bearings

[Greg & Alison Blake]

FYI

Pinion head bearings are difficult to find for the TR3/TR4 rear axle.
My local bearing supplier was out so he called me back after talking
directly to Timken.  Timken no longer stocks the bearing so they quoted
him $350 + 14 weeks for the cone bearing, the race was available.  Moss
was out of stock and were showing a mid May ETA, typical optimistic
schedule.  TRF had three remaining in their stock, now only 2.

I almost hate to bring it up, but after spending today tracking down a
bearing made of unobtainium, I started thinking about that Ford 9" my
friend offered to give me the other day.  Has anyone gone this route in
a TR vintage race car.  I know, shame on me, just curious.
