I have always found them listed by the various vendors of Model T Parts. Chaffin's Garage in Corona, Ca, Langs Old Car Parts Massachusetts, Snyders. And others.

Start with Rock Auto. The best price will be there if they're in stock. If they're out, call the other dealers in new parts.

As I posted in the second wheel bearing thread, IF the state you live in collects sales taxes on ALL purchases, even those through out of state on line sources like Rock Auto, Rock Auto will NOT ship to that or any state that collects on line sales taxes! They do not want to mess with that hassle. Ask Me How I Know....

Rock Auto works fine in Wisconsin and they charge for / collect state sales tax here.

Only 4 states in the US do not have sales tax and as far as I can tell out of the rest, only a few have not started collecting on internet sales, (Florida just started) how Rock Auto with warehoused located in different parts of the US, could stay in business if they did not comply? Could it be possible that the order was placed when collecting of tax was first implemented, and they were not setup yet for it?
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

By the way; I have a nice selection of good used outer wheel bearings that have been ultrasonic cleaned. They are $40 each and I will bring them to Hershey. Also have some good used spindle nuts & washers. Will be at space GBL 33. I won’t ship used wheel bearings. You have to buy them in person / pick out the specific ones you want yourself...

I'd say start with Lang's, Snyder's, Chaffin's, etc., and only go to Rock Auto if they are all out of stock. The hobby is able to exist because of those guys. It works against our long-term best interests not to support those who support us, just to save a few cents or bucks.

My 4 cents worth. (inflation) Get the original style. I tried the ones with inserts. The original style are more that worth the price difference.
