[Spridgets] Front Hub Bearing Set

[Michael MacLean]

OK, here's the story.  I called the Moss tech line and was told the expensive bearings for the front hub was due to the fact Moss required the bearing supplier to provide the bearing races at a specific thickness as per original bearings.  This means that they do not have to be shimmed to get the correct tension between bearing races and the spacer tube between them.  I was told that additional machining was required to arrive at the correct thickness, thus the added cost.  I was also told my only saving grace is the sale that is going on right now.  If I spend another $10.02, I can get 10% off the total.  Wow.  That makes me feel better.Mike MacLean

Imagine my surprise when I looked at the Moss catalog and a bearing set for just one side which includes just two bearings and one seal costs $119.99!  Wow!  Even the new tapered bearing set they sell that covers both sides is only 70 bucks.  Today I ordered 2 Lucas bearing sets for the front hubs at $22.80 per side.  I called Moss, but the order line had no idea why their standard front hub bearing set cost 120 bucks.  Go figure.Mike MacLean
