Hi Mirek

Most OEM mains and big end bearings are usually made  of a composite
of three metals rarely two; others for racing are a lot more complex.  I
ordered mine from SC Parts  but this was prior to their take over.  They
or Steve Jowett at UK Healey should able to help. If you are close to Bob
Yule's location you could drop in and ask him.

Kind regards
