[DeTomaso] Clutch and -2 ZF Pilot Bearing - Late '73 Pantera L Model

[Chris Difani]

Guys:

I'm getting very close to the final assembly (at very long last) of my late '73 L model's -2 ZF, and have found that I don't have a pilot bearing. I have the throw out bearing, and it's in excellent condition. But the bearing that fits in the rear of the crankshaft, that the nose of the input shaft fits into, that I don't have. 

I looked thru SOBills database, and came up with 4 or 5 different numbers associated with the phrase "pilot bearing". I took them to my nearby NAPA store, and found that of the 5 numbers, only one "worked" (and it's "on order"). The NAPA numbers in the database are no longer valid (the NAPA database managers changed their part numbering system over the past year or so).

So my question for the list is: Since I've exhausted the database's information, does anyone have a recently purchased pilot bearing part number, information, recommendation, thoughts, etc.?
