OUCH! All the time I was thinking pilot bearing. My apologies, I'm going to have to have my eyes checked.

Again, per Hollanders the throwout is A-882,used up thru 1948 (some models) which is as recent as my volume covers. A-882 is listed as Packard-only.

I don't have a direct answer to your question but I can't resist tossing my two cents worth into this discussion.

I don't think Kanter and the other big three manufacture anything. I think we pay too high a price to compensate them only because they know where to buy the parts. Between two and three times what the part should cost. For instance they ask $39.00 for a wheel cylinder you can buy new at the NAPA dealer for $14.00. I'll bet that when they get an order for a wheel cylinder they run down to the NAPA dealer and buy it. Maybe that is why when you place an order it takes them sometimes two weeks before the part is shipped.

Don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with someone making a profit but 278% is a little much.

And if someone offered you three times much for your car, would you sell it? I dont mind them setting high price. If they can sell them at 278% profit, more power to them. If I can find one cheaper, than I will buy it. It's what the market will bear. Also what I don't like (Portlandon can atest to this) is people calling up the parts place for advice and then buyingthe parts from the cheapest place.

Speaking as a parts guy for 10+ years, that $hit pisses me off too. Do your own research, don't make other's do it for you!!!!!!!

A-882 is listed as Packard-only.
Do you suppose that is because Packard had that small spring attached to the throwout bearing from the clutch shaft cover?
I'm not all that familiar with other mfrs, but don't remember seeing that on other cars I've worked on.

Had my local clutch shop call there supplier and was told that bearing is proprietary .I also wouln't pay the price. I had the machine shop cut the collar down($35.00) by 30 thou and use a late model bearing.

A few more details as to machining and which modern bearing was used from 1938 Club Coupe might be worth a writeup or listing in the xref.

To research:
Start by checking truck applications ca. 1928 thru late 1970's.

Have u tried checking the Packard Parts X-ref ???? See Main Menue at left of screen.

THus far 1938 Club Coupe has the best solution. Not sure what part of the collar had to be cut .030" on a lathe. In some cases such as this a precision machine cut is not always necessary. Cruder methos mite be just as good. It depends.

Perhaps 1938 CLub Coupe can tell us what modern bearing he used and modified.

Sounds like the best bet thus far.

MOST LIKEY what 38 Club Coupe did is exanctly what the suppliers do.

I checked that auction out and that bearing is the wrong size - in fact I have a spare one of those. The ID of the one on Ebay is too large - it might be for a V12 of something but it won't fit my car. The number on the Ebay one is BB20 and the ID is approx 2 1/4 " where mine is approx 1 3/4"
