1961 four digit "O"
 

Hey guys, I am a LOONNGG time lurker, but I havent posted here much (frequent MTF a lot). I recently bought a very rough, but low digit original that I have had in the corner of the shop for over a year, and decided its time for it to shine again! I completely tore down the transmission, it had one broken gear and all but the tapered roller bearings were bad. I found the gear I needed, and all bearings and springs and detents for the transmission and have it all together now. I ordered reduction housing bearings and the seal, but when they got here they are not correct. I have been digging and digging and am having trouble locating bearings. Now, my local bearing supplier said they can get the front reduction bearing, the old one says it is a Norma 6104, but CC lists it as NLA. I am hoping the bearing supplier can get it as they say, but I have had bad luck in the past, so we'll see.

Anyhow, I read on Brian ***** site that the 941-0361 bearing is correct, but yet CC lists it as NLA. Will this bearing work??

Thanks in advance guys...

Nick, a 6104 bearing has an inside diameter of 20mm, outside diameter of 42mm and a thickness of 12mm. Is that what the 941-0361 measures?

Thanks for the reply!

I pulled these from another site:

(All ball bearings have always been made to the metric dimensions. The US and import manufacturers try to make them close to the inch dimensions as possible.)
