Made in U.S.A Front Wheel Bearing kit

I'm looking for NON china/taiwan bearing kit for these hubs, anybody know where to find one?

Just to say it's for my '32 Ford 5w project, I have 45 finned Buick drums / speedway hubs / '37 P&J spindles / repro Lincoln backing plates

If they are replacement early ford hubs, they will take early ford bearings. believe it or not, napa will carry them in stock.

edit: just noticed you are in italy. not gonna find a NAPA store around the corner from you. should be able to get good quality early ford (1940 bearings in this case) bearings mail ordered from one of the decent ford parts catalog places. MACS or the like.

 

I think you can find them by cross referencing the bearing numbers...if you already have some bearings. Good luck.

 

a bearing supply warehouse will be able to cross-reference the numbers and get you bearings. considering your proximity, i think ze germans might have the best quality replacements for you...

 

couple of things about bearings: they are all manufactured by the same equipment just different locations. the QC. on them is done first by weight then random visual check. most bearing failure is caused from improper installation.

 

Just a thought to consider is all.

When I rebuilt my '67 SS/RS Camaro Car's front end with my now BB in it, I checked out Toyo Bearings on the T/C site's and found out that they are fine.

You may want to reconsider?

TIMKEN, Ford used them, so should you.

 

Every bearing and race that I got from HAMB member **** Spadaro has been a TIMKEN.

The process may be the same, but the metalurgy is not, nor is the quality contol of the metal they're made out of.....

I do not use Chinese made bearings in my manufacturing plant either, too many premature failures and too much downtime......
