I am not sure what you mean by "tube" ("race" or "sleeve"-the part the bearing rides on. Or is this a type of bearing) but "Bearing Distributors Incorporated" "BDI" has outlets around the world. Try their web site. http://www.bdiworldwide.com/ It appears you may have to mail order since they do not have a Cyprus branch This message was edited by 40 Coupe on 7-12-12 @ 5:27 AM

I suspect that the "tubes" are what we call "races". Any time the races are replaced, the bearings also should be changed. The old bearings and races form a wear pattern that isn't compatible with a new set. Look for numbers on the bearings. These will tell a supplier what you need. You can put "antique Chevrolet bearings" in your browser to locate a source.

If you put "hyatt ir1500 bearing" in your browser you can find several sources. I just did this, I think you will be able to find what you need. Besides my old Fords I do have a 55 brand x convertible!

Many thanks to all the good people who sent in their advise .. the part I am looking for is the tube that the actual bearing sits in ... will follow the leads provided. Thanks again, Christopher Island of Cyprus - EUROPE
