Hello
My source for french parts has dried out. Now I need a set of main bearings for the 255 (4,2 ltr) engine and a set of conrod bearings as well. Crank and bigends are std size. I have found out that 59AB bearings up to 1948 should be what I need but maybe some of you know better - if so, just let me know - Thanks! Where should I get those bearings?
Very happy to have this knowledge here available!!!!

59A type for the mains, 8BA for the rods.
Can't make a recommendation for source, as I tend to just use the ones I have.
