Unfortunately if you factor in postage then exchange rates for the new bearings and then getting them machined it would probably work out the same. I'm going to see him tomorrow so i will have a chat ... |

Does anybody know a place to get original conrod little end bushings for a 931. I dont see any listed on Ideola's website. And getting them made by my machinist will cost me over $70 each. |
