So I spent a little time yesterday looking online at bearing supply places.

As I mentioned previously, the local auto parts place wanted something like
$36 for a speedi sleeve. . .so I went checking.
I found a place online that you can enter part numbers and  it will display
prices on line.

CHICAGO RAWHIDE MANUFACTURING   SPEEDI-SLEEVE 1.500     21.69   


Still more than I expected it would cost .. but substantially cheaper than
Fairfax Autoparts.


So I went on to check out some Timken bearings.
(by the way, you can go to the Timken bearing site
(http://www.timkeninfo.com/ <http://www.timkeninfo.com/> ) and it will give
you bearing numbers for Triumphs back to about 1966 or so.

I was interested in the differential and pinion bearings.
Looks like there is some substantial savings possible compared to Moss List
price.  
(yeah, I know you can get discounts off Moss)

Pinion 1
3188    cone    20.44
3120    cup     10.16
total           30.60
Moss 125-600 (complete bearing) 46.95

Pinion 2
15245   cup     3.20
15100   cone    8.93
total           12.13
Moss 525-090    (complete bearing) 22.95


Differential Carrier Bearings:
16283   cup     14.97
16150   cone    13.50
total           28.47
Moss 525-070  (complete bearing) 28.95

Hmm.. not much savings on that one.
Wonder if Moss is supplying Timken?


So that's what I found out . .thought I'd share it with everyone.
Do with it what you like.
