pic of the bearings i bought for the gearbox rebuild attached.
There are needle rollers also but i couldnt find any info on those.
The ZZ in the part number means 'shielded' i.e they have a metal, semi seal fitted to them, you can remove this with a small screwdriver as its not required.
I got them with the shield just because thats what was available.

I have the bearing numbers for the ball bearings, but not the needle rollers.
Theyre just standard bearings, just tell the number to any bearing shop and they will match them with whatever brand is most available.
Mine came from NSK.
When i get in the garage tomorrow i'll make a note and let you know.

The bearings, when cleaned and inspected with magnifying glass, will have a bearing number stamped on them.

i haven't opened it yet. i have a 56a in pieces because i could not get the bearings.

on the 60a, i hear the sound when its on 4th and 5th. i would prefer changed all the bearings... if possible

Order the bearing as a generic (non-automotive) from a bearing supply company. Which bearing is it?

I have a 60A 5 spd with worn bearing...but these dont seem to to be available here...where would i find them?

Thanks

Understood. I was just reading up on that. Pitroad says the difference is 20mm. I like your method (1-piece crossmember/bracket).

Its the vertical distance thats different,, the foot is about 15mm longer down from the centreline than the 60L.

Because i had welded in mountings its caused me problems and i had to cut it all out and make a new mounting.
Also, as my car is a frogeye sprite, the gearbox sits quite high inside the tunnel...
This is what i ended up making (in blue)....it bolts on now, making future engine/box removal much easier... on top of the blue bracket is a standard B310 gearbox mount, They had one in stock at my local motorfactors....

I'm surprised, because it looks like they have the mounts in the same place:

I had to fab a new mount for the 60a to fit the 1200 tunnel, made a cardboard template first ..... It all takes time.

It has offset tabs to make up the distance to the mounts
