Just got mine for a '72 Matador Police Enforcer restoration.
Preeeeemo recommendation BPitt. Works better than OEM!

Sorry this took so long to post, I recently updated my computer to the newest windows version and now I cant figure out how to work anything!
I went back and did this on my old laptop with the older version I know how to work. I use as small bearing remover and support it on some machining blocks. I fabricated a driver out of some 1/8 by 1 1/2 flat stock. I hope this helps, I apologize for not putting this in the thread originally. Edited by B Pitt - Mar/08/2016 at 10:50am |

I liked the thread so I saved it and bought a pair of the bearings listed, when I get to cleaning up my hinges I will upgrade. A tight smooth operating doors gives a car that quality feeling like when it was new.
Thanks

So far the nearest match I can find to what I assume is the correct cam follower/track roller is from McMaster Carr the part number is 1470 T13 for $24.32. It has a 5/8 diameter roller 7/16" thick, the stud is 5/16-24 thread, 3/4" long, it has a shoulder 1/32 thick that is 15/32" in diameter. I assume the 1/32 shoulder aligns the roller in the correct position for the cam to ride on it.
I'd appreciate if someone would chime in hear and let me know which one is correct if this isn't. B Pitt said the ones he bought were about 8 bucks cheaper. Thanks, Armand Edited by White70JavelinSST - Mar/09/2016 at 4:29pm |
