Just wondering if anyone knows the correct bearings to use with the above mentioned part number. By the looks of things, the bearings need to be flanged but what size???

Thanks for any help you can provide.

This is the part in question:

They should be 3/16 x 3/8 plain bearings. Not flanged.

Thanks Jason - you're a star

The moldings do look like they're designed for flanged bearings though....strange!

it does, and flanged ones may work, but the kits come with plain bearings.

Thats great info - I have a set of these levers also ~ sans bearings.

Hang on....... I think they're actually 3/16 x 5/16 plain the more I think about it. Ill measure mine when I get home unless someone beats me to it.

So don't run out and buy any just yet.....

3/8" is too big I think, judging by the photo, probably 5/16" OD.

Ya, when I saw my quote in dan's post I said to myself that can't be right. The hub on the bellcrank isn't big enough for a 3/8 bearing. Most likely 5/16 od.

I actually have an old version in stock and measured to be sure. It is in fact 5/16 OD and not flanged, even in this early version that has a JRX2 header card.

Thanks for the confirmation.

3/16 x 5/16 plain.

Thanks guys! I love this site......!
