1984 Tecate Westcoast Swinger Bearings

[Qdude79]

Where can I get 'em from? The old ones disintegrated when I pulled 'em, needles everywhere. Nothing left to compare 'em to. Anyone have some info on these??

Thanks!

Have you looked to see if the factory ones are the same as the one's that go in the westcoast? I just put new ALL BALLS bearings in my 200x westcoast and they were the same as the factory ones. Its worth a try.

I am willing to bet these will work.

I did one awhile ago and they were not the same, I had it machined to fit factory needle bearings

Yaeger- those sure look like the old ones, but of course, I have no way of knowing if they have the correct dimensions. Unless I wanna spend the $$ and roll the dice. Especially reluctant now that someone else didn't find them to work. Hmmm.....

You need INA brand bearings. These are made in Germany and superior quality needle bearing races. I use INA Part # HK 2030 in all my Tecate Westcoast arms. Oem bearings will not work. Only in Franks and Dura Blues. Westcoast and Cal-Fab arms both take the same larger than oem race. Any reputable bearing distributor should easily have these in stock. I get mine locally for about $9 a piece.

I stand corrected! But it looks like tecat-z had the answer! Good Luck!

Thanks Tecat-Z! And to Yaeger and Blue, I appreciate the direction.
