Senol organised it with his group buy.

I have been looking at them, I might have to grab some myself.

Hi Rick, Nik_Lee, EssDub,
I have one of the Shift Linkage Roller Bearings from the Senol buy, but I don't think that I will use it.
I am concerned that the hardened & curved outer race will wear the surfaces of the Shift Lever.
I reckon that the flat surfaces & soft material of the block is intended to be sacrificial.
I like EssDub's idea to make replacements. Do we know what the material is ? Maybe something like Phosphor Bronze or another plain bearing material would be suitable.
Nik_Lee, if you want to try my bearing, I will send it over at no cost. PM an address.

I'm really happy with the way it fits and operates, i think there will be less wear as it is a bearing that rotates rather than sliding against the lever. The square bush might be sacrificial, but it does still wear the lever a bit from my observation when i replaced mine.

Peter, any chance u could send me the bearing specs? I would like to see if i could get one from my local bearing shop.

Hi Carmikey,
It was my intention to try to identify it as well. It does appear to be a fairly ordinary looking needle roller bearing.
I'll take some measurements & see what I can find.
 

Hi All,
Have measured Bearing & have downloaded NSK Needle Roller Bearing Book.
The bearing is almost certainly an FJ-1010 as shown on the pic Bearing 2.
It is interesting that the bearing from the group buy appears to have numbers ground off. (pic Bearing 1).
When I had another close look at Rick's pic, on which I thought I may be able to read Bearing No, I reckon that it is also ground down on that one as well.
I'll go to my local CBC Bearing Shop at lunch time & see if I can buy an FJ-1010.
 
Hey Rick, sorry to hijack your ShowRoom with this.

No problems about hijacking the thread lol.
Any discussion that might help other owners save money is always welcome.

If that turns out to be the righ bearing I shall be heading to my local bearing shop to get one.
 
Thanks for doing the homework on that one Peter.

I just picked mine up for my local cbc bearing shop. $14.
As Nick said, thanks for the research Pete.
