Reply To: 1989 Hayter 21/osprey bearings needed

[sidevalve5]

Another way of getting bearings that I have done many times is to get one from one of the large online suppliers. I have used Bearing Boys and Simply Bearings. If the bearing has a manufacturer and a reference number on it. You can cross reference it with the company’s lists. If not, measure the OD, ID and width and put that in the company search engine. You will need to determine if the bearing is metric or imperial first though. A 1989 machine may have either size as it was in the middle of a period when the sizes changed. The balance of probailities is that Hayter used a stock bearing that is still readily available. But would firstly take advantage of David’s kind offer, he has vast experience in these matters.
