dewismotorsport i want to replace my needle bearings as a precaution as I have no idea what mileage their on and my car gets a hard time on track and lots of road miles currently, I've previously replaced the snout bearings as they were getting lumpy so these must be equally shagged. I don't really want to pay the ridiculous shipping costs of zzp so will these be any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/301760003616 In reality if they last a year of racing I will be happy, and will replace as a maintenance mod over the off season. Thoughts?!
evocarlos email the seller and ask if the needles are open back as that's the ones you want zzp no longer list them on there web site and jbp no longer shows the size on his site so i cant quote the right size
dewismotorsport Open back as in no rear casing too them? I'll give him a message but fear they will be clueless 🙁 I'm sure I read somewhere there are two different sizes?!
evocarlos think there 3 sizes from memory of zzp'd listing but the m62 lsj has open back no casing on the rear unlike the eaton m45 (mini) charger than has closed bearings

dewismotorsport Got a reply back from the seller: "Needle bearings with open back always have a 17mm internal diameter, but may have three kinds of outer diameter. 24,27 and 32 mm." Did all M62's have the same size outer diameters?
evocarlos Open Back Needle bearings approximately ID 17mm, OD 27mm, length 22.2mm http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eaton-M45-M62-M90-M112-Supercharger-Case-Needle-Bearings-Miata-Saleen-Mustang-GM-/111605388214
evocarlos found the zzp listing on ebay but the price is horrendous http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eaton-M45-M112-Supercharger-Case-Rotor-Bearings-GM-Buick-Miata-Saleen-Mustang-/170826537942?hash=item27c60e1bd6
dewismotorsport Cheers, had them in my watch list already but ideally want a uk seller so I can return if there incorrect.
dewismotorsport Ordered this kit, he's a UK seller and was very helpful and can do other kits for those that need them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/301793683325 If your only after the needle bearings you can buy the kit below but I'd personally change the rotor bearings too while your at it. Non uk seller: http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/111605388214
evocarlos the snout bearings are off the shelf there like £11 and about £15 with the seal and the 2 bearings ""the snout contains 2 bearings and a twin lip viton seal 1x 6204 c3 (must be c3 rating for high speed oll/heat clearance) 1x 6203 c3 (must be c3 rating for high speed oil/heat clearance) 1x 20x47x7-R21(must be viton) (its pretty hard to find a twin lip seal in 7mm wide but the single lip will work just fine r21= single - r23 = twin lip)""
evocarlos dewismotorsport said: The ones I have bought are INA needle bearings and FAG rotor bearings 🙂 the picture in the link are not ina 🙂 no orange seal on them altho he may supply ina 🙂 edit :- doh! i only just read the listing 🙂
