I'm in the process of rebuilding the front brakes of my '29 ccpu. I have the king pins out and the old roller type (yes roller) thrust bearings are probably not reusable. I still have an unused kit from my old roadster in 1971, and the ball- thrust bearings are actually marked Made in the USA, but don't have a manufacturer or number on them, so I'm leery about using them. Has anybody considered sourcing Boston Gear parts as in the following?

Update: The address above doesn't seem to work, but (I think) it's page 194 of the Boston gear catalog.

Thanks for any info,

Ned
