oilyhands Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 I've not seen the rear carrier, but if it is the Sierra part then Sierra rear bearings will fit, if its a Caterham special upright then you're in the lap of the Gods, might be worth measuring the part and noting the bearing manufacturers part number to see if it is an OEM part, cant imagine Caterham would make an upright and then look for a bearing to fit. I'd certainly have a mind to available bearings before doing the design. There is a good chane that it may yet be the Sierra bearings regardless of the provenance of the carrier.

stevefoster Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 Pretty sure they are Sierra but don't buy with out having an old one along to compare.... The halfshafts are Sierra for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark H Posted November 27, 2001 Author Share Posted November 27, 2001 does any one have the ford part number for these bearings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricol Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Just find your local industrial supplier of bearings, take cash and the old bearings, in or out of the housing and ask for what ever quantity of those you want - they will be able to determine size and spec if numbers are not apparent - more than likely (tho' not guarenteed) to be cheaper than Ford - if it is Ford - the bearing number will do, if the year and model are known, they should be able to look it up.

John Vine Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Marc, You could start by looking at Ford P/N 6102198, but this may simply be the base item that Caterham then modify for later De Dions. JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
