Friends:
I am making slow progress on the bringing back to life of my '46. I am working on the front axle, bearings, brakes now and found there were two different wheel bearings L and R. My shock came when I went to buy new ones at the price for these. Sticker shock? You bet. Of course, I turned to SB for any info I can get. One side had Bower and the other Hiatt bearings. These were still available but both were quoted at north of $230.00/each.
I might have to sell the wife now to pay for these and that just breaks my heart.
Do you know of any vendors that make a real dent in these prices? Thanks in advance for any help. Also, do you have any opinion/experience pro or con with the original roller bearings vs. newer tapered? Again, thanks
