Give Lindsay Seibler at Minis Plus a call. Word is that he bought the entire ACL bearing stock when they went into administration last year. If anyone has some, he will. good luck michael |

Assuming your crank was not an A+ one... I couldn't find any for my Turbo crank... Which will be scrap if I can't find any! |

Use A series ones, they oil your crank's big ends better (like, for 360° not 180). Just need to file another tag groove in each cap. Cheaper, too. [edited] for clarity |

It was Mahle or Fedral Mungral, I cannot recall which, but it was one of the big yankie companies. They 'packed up' the entire manufacturing plant and took it to the states. It's still there, in boxes. |

I think perhaps you have been misinformed... 
Website just says administrators appointed- http://www.acl.com.au/ afaik they are still trading. |
