Pat---The Gunst is probably the best t/o bearing you can buy for the
TR6/250, regardless of what clutch you use. Next best would be the KOYO,
which can be purchased separately from TRF. (It's the one used in the
mid 80's Toyota Land Cruiser)  RHP's are a crap shoot.

The KOYO would be better when using the flat fingered B&B, as the Koyo's
larger diam. rests on the B&B's cranked fingers. 

Don Malling has been kind enough to order a bunch of these (Gunst) for
the group. Don't know if he has any left.

The Gunst comes with a bronze carrier sleeve, tho the bearing should fit
the std. carrier. Also recommended is that this bearing be pre-loaded,
to keep both bearing and clutch turning full time. For more on this

Go to "Technical", then down to "Reliable Clutch"
