Does anybody know where I can purchase (for the right price) a set of Bearings for my MT82-6 Gearbox, this is the 6 speed gearbox that goes with the Puma 2.2 turbo charged diesel. I've tried the usual places; Paddocks, Craddocks etc. but nobody seems to stock these bearings ? Thanks in advance.

Os34866 ford transit on a google.
Get it on ebay etc.
1% sure it looks like the right one.
You need to check the other 99%.
The guy that would know the answer seems to have disappeared of the site. What happened?

Thanks but here in Laos, they charge the earth ... even my Range River cost $260,000 USD whilst the same model elsewhere is around $80,000 to $100,000 ... just got brake pads for it at $220 USD in Australia, they wanted $1100 here !!!

Ah I see. Must be a nightmare getting parts. Though it can’t cost that much to send a bearing to you?

Its the complete set of bearings plus seals etc. that I am after, so ... a couple of klg ... as long as I don't have to use my local DHL account number and the supplier can give me a shipping charge, I'll be OK, but as an example, I once sent a large equipment box to Germany .. DHL Laos charged me $650 USD ... the repair centre in conjunction with DHL Germany charged me $57to return the box and equipment .... Phew !

A quick email to https://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/ may help, I can't see them on their site but I'd be surprised if they couldn't help
