[DeTomaso] Rear Upright RIV Bearing

[thells]

Corey,

I installed the 5208 2RSC3 double row inner bearings on my '72 a few years ago, don't forget to machine the inner spacer tube (part # 01208A) down to accommodate the wider bearing.

I believe the reduction should be .480, you may want to confirm what's correct for the bearing you've got.

Les,

The bearings came out of my uprights, and I'm sure they are used. I bought some replacement SKF bearings and will convert to double roller inner bearings.
