[Shotimes] SHO tranny bearings?

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Bruce:
 I post this because I have found bearings that are suppose to be
unavailable? The ATX idler pulley bearing is what got me started. I live in
a oil-field town and it is VERY deep in off-shore fabrication,Machine shops
and oil field repair. This bearing house has helped at least 3 other SHO
times for odd and "Unavailable" bearings and seals.

They only work off the dimensions and construction type of the bearing. So
don't bother to ask for a bearing for a Ford Taurus SHO. They won't know or
care. The latest find for me was the transmission output seal and bearing
for a 1949 Studebaker 1/2 ton pickup. If you get in a real bind you might
even consider sending them the old one to match up. They have come up dry
only once or twice for me.
Hope it helps!
