Hi,

I am writing to check pricing and availability on # MB5248AM, preferably in 1st undersize.

Thanks,

J.R. Gregory

***************

J.R.,
Thank you for your interest in King Engine Bearings. This is not a normal stocking item in the US. I did however check our factory and see that this item is being produced in mid February.

If you are interested, you can contact one of our distributors and place a special order for this item.
We will be producing it in STD, .25mm (.010”), .50mm (.020”).

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Regards,
Limor DePetro
King Engine Bearings, Inc.

BTW, King Bearings is a reputable company based right here in the U S of A!

I declare myself scavenger hunt victor.

Sweet! What do we need to do to "special order"? Time for an official group buy thread?

Good detective work there.
Thank you Rasta.

Will definitely take at least one set of +0.25 and probably more if kidneys grow fast.

Let`s hope that this lead results in a positive result for all.

I am looking for a supplier currently. When I get a good one dialed in, I will start a bearing thread and begin negotiations.

As a group, I think we should buy as many +.010 as we can.

PRICE?

Unknown at this time. Can't imagine them being much over $100, though.

$100? That would be nothing short of spectacular. All the websites I found where part numbers are listed (no inventory of course) show prices in the low $200 range.

Let us know when you have more info...
