thrust bearing

Does any one have a source for a thrust bearing. Working on the
transmission of my 1938 TA it was decided that it would be wise to
replace the transmission thrust bearing. This is the bearing the fork
pushes against to take pressure off the drive plate. NTG can not find
one and we have tried a source in the US. Does any one have an idea. The
existing bearing works but it did come apart and was reassambled when we
were working on the transmission.
Thanks

I used Bearing Ref G451b from NTG . It is the same as the Pinion bearing
for the rear axle.
Incidentally if you take your bearing ,any roller bearing come to that, to
a reputable bearing supplier, they should be able to match your bearing.
In spite of the age of our cars many many bearings are still being produced
to the same sizes and spec.,usally to improved specs with todays
engineering. Try a bearing supplier not a car spares supplier, they have
to buy their bearings from somewhere. Also bespoke bearing supplier have
vast data sheets for size and use.
