 I bought a pair of the McGILL CFH 5/8-SB same as shown in the other thread, your measurements match the McGILL brand. A little shopping around might get you a better price, I bought a pair off of ebay for half of the McMaster price in December.

Better yet McGILL CFH 5/8-SB for $11.45 each on eBay with free shipping.


Personally I wonder if using this bearing that doesn't have an end seal has any issues. I saw on McMaster Carr that this bearing can be had with an end, but no illustration was shown.

Thought I would bring back this old post so newer members could see it. I put new bushings in the 71 that I'm working on and the drivers side roller was messed up. I snapped of the pin trying to remove it so I thought I would try this upgrade that I had saved years ago. Thanks to the OP because this works perfectly! I found a follower for $14 including shipping on eBay. Well worth it to me. It'll never wear that follower out and the door closes smoother with it in there. Thumbs Up

Here's an eBay ad for two McGill bearing for $9 plus $8 shipping. $17 for a pair and the seller has 8 lots available. Buy them while they last. I might have to buy a pair for myself.

Thanks for the heads up Tom, I ordered two, can't go wrong for that price.
