Hi,
I purchased a timing side roller bearing for a 1949 rigid B31 I am rebuilding for a friend from a company that said they only have the best brands and it arrived and its name is "Stirling".
I checked and they are made in China??
Can anybody give me any information on the quality Etc or any information either good or bad.
Cheers
Andy
Not heard of "Stirling" as bearing manufacturer.
If you are in doubt as to quality then I would choose a bearing from a well known manufacurer.
You might find Stirling is a supplier of bearings not a manufacturer, maybe repackaging in some instances similar to Simply Bearings?
Hi,
I purchased the bearing from Simply bearings and their info said it was a quality bearing, I made a mistake in my original post the name is "Sterling"
I live in Stirling Australia so force of habit in my spelling.I spoke to a friend of mine who has a B33 an he suggested not to use this brand.
As I am rebuilding for someone else I may just purchase a known brand and wear the cost as I do not want any issues in the future.
Cheers
Andy
Hi,
Which bearing manufacturer did Simply Bearings supply? If you are concerned it's worth phoning them.
I purchase 4 needle rollers from them and the quoted loading wasn't what they supplied, they gladly replaced them for me (next day and with the free postage, I had to pay for the return postage though).
Best of luck........
