Barney,
More specifically the application is a MGA race car. This is intended to
reduce axle breaks. We broke one at Thunder hill last race of the season. I
already got my answer which is to just go with the carriers and bearings and
have them matched at a bearing house. I just thought one of the MG speed
shops might already have the things sized or the racers through experience
and track time.
The MGA and Elva guys all said they use a double row.
Thanks again
Warm Regards,
Tracy Drummond

Subject: Re: [Mgs] MGA Double row axle bearings
Funny question. Any of the common Brit car parts suppliers have them.
Alternatively, any local bearing supply house. They won't know the
car application, so don't tell them what it's for. Just give them
the numbers off the side of the bearing races, and they wil likely
get one within 24 hours (if not off the local shelf). If you were
curious in advance you can likely use the internet to look up cross
reference numbers from multiple manufacturers.
Or maybe I misinterpret your question. The outboard hub bearing is
double row, but the differential carrier bearing is not. Original
design is very robust, so no reason to switch to anything non-standard.
