Hi Kevin,
I weill be swapping the entire rear axle assembly, using new u-bolts and
bushes.
The wheel bearings would be used in case I do the wire conversion and swap
front hubs.
The price of $100 is just about standard. Fortunately, I've found a source
here in
Massachusetts (Geoff Rogers in Amherst). Thanks for your interest.
