Rupp Unimount Bearings

Post by Mark Cermak » Thu Jun 21, 2012 6:23 pm

I am restoring another Rupp Chaparrel for "The Big One" this year and I would like to replace the Unimount bearings. It seems that they have a set screw collar attached to the bearing. Where would I get bearings like this?
Thanks

Bearing Distributors would be my first stop. Lots of Bearings Direct online stuff available also.

Thanks for your post Robert. I didn't realize that you still had the originals. Glad to place my order for the bearings with you. Thanks again

Mark
