thanks for the info. i called frank and he did not have anything that would work but said he would be able to cut me a set if i gave him the dimensions. as for the bearing it is not a standard bearing. it has a groove in the ouside race with a ring around it that "keys" it into the block( looks like it doubles as a thrust bearing/washer) the number is FAG 522157. so far i have not had any luck in finding a match. the guy who is doing all the milling and converting it is now waiting on me to find parts (he cant find any either) does anyone know of any sites that may be of some help? thanks for all the help guys!!
