One final try to post this to the list: Our group recently invested
in a company who designs bearings with the major global bearing
makers. They got their start in motorracing bearings when advising
Ferrari F1 on their bearings/hubs. From their work with Ferrari, they
used and were a big proponent of Israel-based King Bearings to solve
all their high-end troubleshooting needs.

John Mitchell confirmed that TRF is selling King Bearing - bi-metal
bearings, BPNW sells tri-metal heavy duty King bearings
-------------------------------------------------------------
As for Clevite, Vandevell, and Glacier, my due dilly revealed that
Dana Corporation owns them all, despite Dana's post-2003/2004
divestiture of many afterparts brands.
