I'm replacing the front swivel bushes, bearing, oil seals etc on my series 3 109. I've rebuilt the swivels and looking to fit new half shaft bearings
Looking at the Britpart bearings (secured with a flimsy plastic roller holder) compared to the old ones (held securely in place with brass keep) I really would prefer to use a better quality product. Looking on Paddocks website they sell an OEM bearing (over twice the cost!) but it still doesn't look to have the brass keep! Can you still get the original bearings? What do other people use / recommend?
