thrust bearing

[Ted Gantz]

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 Ted Gantz

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. Roger Muir (Bromsgrove England)
