thminiman Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 hey man, if you are after parts theres a few places in the nz that do them: BNT have heaps more shit than you'd expect www.minibitz.co.nz - he's on trademe too as is another dude that just showed up, they get all their shit from the uk so you dont have to bother with it.

ProZac Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yeah, cheers man. I work at repco, and we do get heaps of bits in for them that you wouldn't expect, but finding wheelbearings for less than $50 per bearing is proving difficult... Brother is coming back from the UK for xmas, so will save on shipping that way, and our dollar's pretty good atm . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 oh thats all good, i got my rear wheel bearings from bnt and they worked to be about $35 a side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Tapered seat, or ball bearing type? Can get Ballbearing type cheap as chips, but more keen on tapered type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thminiman Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 tapered. i can have a look round for the bnt stock code if you like but i think i threw the receipt already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Cheers man, would appreciate it. Will give them a ring anyways... If BNT have em, i can probably get em thru work also. Will be pulling the rear subframe out this friday, will have a look to see what bearings are in it atm, if their tapered ones i'll try and go by the numbers.

thminiman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 yea there are three different types from memory, tapered, ball and cylindrical roller. They all are the same size but the diffence is in the setting up of them, but i presume you already know this from what you said before, the tapered ones i got had an offset hub on them so once they where in, you didnt need to set them like a normal tapered roller baring, just did it up tight and the centres butted up together. Sadly the somewhat innaccurate machining of the hubs meant they didnt load up properly so i needed to surface grind it back by a few thou. cunty if you dont have access to a surface grinder. anyway, i shall go an look right now for a receipt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 There goes $850 to minispares in the UK, got some sweet shit though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lump Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 If you're still after wheel bearings Wilson Bro's in Annex road seem to be pretty cheap. I got bearings and seals for both front wheels of the Jag for less than $80, the best quote I'd had before this was $80 for one side.

BobbyBreeze Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 There goes $850 to minispares in the UK, got some sweet shit though . Soo easy to spend heaps there eh?
