I am in the middle of my gearbox build and while i was drying the kero off the ist gear roller bearing with my air compressor it flew out of my hand and one of the rollers disapperared into my gravel drive way (must make a metal detector) to never be found.

My question is i have a metal caged one from a earlier box.

The measure up the same fits perfect, so is there any advantage over the plastic ones.

The reason i ask is the plastic one has longer needles and the metal one is split down the middle with smaller bearings

Any ideas

I think the metal split cage one would be from 2nd or 3rd gear... :?:
All 1st gear ones I've seen including metal, are 1 piece.
