Thanks to all the replied....
I guess they are, indeed, Vandervell... Which is nice to know. It all
brought
back memories of why I have them in the first place! Back in the late 70's, I
rebuilt my motor. I seem to recall, my machine shop saw that I had bought
"stock"
bearings... and they recommended that I get the better Vandervell bearings... So
bought a set directly from a Vandervell distributor... and... of course...
these came
in a colored box, not the plain looking thing from the Triumph dealership.
So I sat on them all these years... I didn't even use them in another rebuild.
I
would sell 'em, but I suppose I should keep them for the next time I need to
rebuild. (sorry guys!)
