Surely there's enough of them/you to make this happen?,
Here in OZ i/ can't procure/source/supply ANY USA made B7118&B7121,
I recently supplied a well known FORD parts specialist here in Victoria Australia with our last remainig stock &another 3pcs, ALL of our bearing company suppliers can ONLY supply chinese made KOBE or if they can procure/source&supply from overseas our costs are between $103-108 AUD EACH!!!!! for both B7118&B7121 SIGH  !!!!!. |
I just started at RBC before Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I think pricing would be many times more than any of us would pay if they'd even look at a job as small as antique car transmission bearings. I have been meaning to ask my boss about it though.
