NEW...HD throw out roller bearing for MGB #1

Finally a reliable true heavy duty throw out roller bearing for MGB is on the market. These are now being included with the AP "Heavy Duty" 3 piece clutch kits and the bearings them selves are available separately. I am just today in touch with my UK supplier who assures me these are not the cheap far from HD TOBs that other US vendors have been offering and have now pulled off their shelves due to 3rd world quality issues. These are AP made and boxed.

These are only offered for MGB and I know of nothing in the works for any other car.

Please email me or if you choose PM if you have interest.

What about this bearing makes it "new"? Visually, it looks identical to the one I recieved in the box for my AP heavy duty clutch set more than a year ago.

I know others have used the same bearing I received with success, but I found that bearing to be cheap and chessy...the body was platic, and there was a noticeable bow across the span of the body. Perhaps my eyes are fooling me, but that top-left picture in your attachment appears to show a similar bow.

I threw mine away, and went back to an NOS carbon-faced bearing. Hopefully, these "new" bearings are significantly higher quality than the one I was supplied with 12 months ago.
