Hi all, as the title asks, I'm after a quick source of the Front TIMKEN taper roller wheel bearings for tomorrow. Does Repco or Bursons stock these?

Cheers,

Jim

Good bearing shops used to carry the Timken kit. But too dear to buy there now.
I bought mine from Karcraft, but Minis Plus carries them down your way.

Call Max at Hoppers!

Maybe, but I would just go to Link or similar. They may be able to courier same day if you call early in the day.

Max had some real gold in his shed.

Max has been out of business for a number of years although he does have a bit a stock left. His race car is for sale as well, but they are not in a hurry to sell unless the price is right. Unfortunately Max's health has taken a downturn recently.
