![]() 418 forum posts 15 photos | Have you been searching in particular for Tom Senior parts or just for the type of bearing you require? In the past I have taken an example of the bearings I require to the local bearing dealer (not BSL) and asked them for a matching item. They have managed to help me on two occasions. Also, Denford's took over the supply of spares when Senior's went out of business so it may just be worth checking with them if they could help. They are still in business in Brighouse tel. 01484 728000 or email [email protected] |

![]() 41 forum posts 13 photos | My thanks to Brian and Chris for their very quick replies. I will most certainly act on their advice/recomendations. Unfortunately what I failed to mention was that i actually live in Phuket, Thailand, so I'm affraid nipping out to bearing services etc. is out of the question. As I mentioned I've spent 2 days trying to locate something on the internet but I cannot even find a bearing manufacturers product list to help me. I will use the links provided and hopefully secure the parts required in the UK. Mamy thanks, Colin

If you have a lathe, then making or modifying to use a similar bearing would be easy, I can'y remember if I reused or replaced the thrust bearings on the museums TS when it was refurbished. You need to measure the OD, bore and the thickness of the three parts.
