Help! I need 8x15x5 bearings

[ClodMaxx]

if that doesn't work, let me know. i can see if he'd be willing to do it again - i just can't be held liable if something (for some strange reason) goes wrong. most likely it won't, but it's still a chance you'll take.

btw - congrats on the 8mm cvd score!!

I agree with Clodmaxx. A machine shop is the way to go. But you have 2 routes to take with a machine shop. If you don't have any local that you can find try asking auto repair shops if they do machining. Aslo call your local colleges and universities. They usualy have some sort of a machining program. The 2 options you have is:

1. Like Clodmaxx said have them drill your hole bigger or have them make your sleeve to shrink the hole. Mike great at all projects but it might take him some time. He is busy.

2. If you find a machine shop ask if they have bearings. I use to work for a guy that carried any size bearing you needed. He retired so I can't ask him now. Sorry.

Have you tried the auto part stores in your area? They usualy have a good assortment of bearings too. Good Luck!

Brother...I hear ya...but I live in West Freaking Virginia and anything local is Oh-You-Tee...out. I have stories to tell but they would just make other West Virginians angry. But as an example alot of folks around here think RC stands for Royal Crown soda. I could drive into Maryland, but the work ethic there isn't the greatest either and nobody there is willing to do small jobs at a reasonble price. Don't get me wrong...I've got a lot of $$$ in my trucks and I'm not afraid to spend the cash...in fact I'd rather spend the cash on new parts and save myself the frustration of dealing with "wuts that fer? A little cute funy car?" If the new parts don't work, I'll shelf it and either take Clodmaxx up on his offer or contact Mike.

That just reminds me off when I lived in southern maryland in the 7th district near Mechanicsville. Those hill billys could not even name the different towns. They jsut called it the 7th district. I hear ya about the work and stuff. Good luck finding the bearings or just go with the revo Knuckles.
