Re: Any Thrust In Bearing?

Don't have a specific answer, but I really hope that it's not the Fafnir bearing, they've been unavailable for decades though I have heard that Olcar Bearing was going to have some made. Brace yourself if it is, I believe the going price for all but that one (are there 9?) bearing in the transmission is close to $1000, and the Fafnir is almost that much itself in addition. My costs may be a bit out of date.

Thanks for throwing me into the arms of a great depression!If I did not know better I would think 'Fafnir bearing' is something you made up to wind me up!

I will look at the throw out arm adjustment and oil ways for blockage. I presume these adjustments are contained in the workshop manual.

As for ribbons on wedding cars, it is the done thing here in Ireland. I have a hook on the wiper motor cover over the windscreen, the ribbon goes out through the door frame, around the Phalacrocorax carbo and back through the other door frame. If it is an elastic type and pulled taut, it will not flap or flutter in the wind.
