Hi Byron,

Apart from one-peice bronze bush-type bearings, I am of the opinion
that all the multi-part bearings and seals on the Ferret can be cross-
referenced with readily available commercial equivalents. If a number
is not discernable on the item have it measured at your local bearing
dealer. I have been able to replace all seals and bearings on a
multitude of types and years of vehicles just from a local bearing
dealer in the U.K. There are and have been very few bearing
manufacturers over the years, and there are cross reference lists
available for most.

I also second the above statement by Richard Notton.
