Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) bearing interchange info needed

This is a duplicate post as the one I just made to the "maintenance" forum. Please forgive me for the bundling, but I thought that since more folks hang on this forum than the other, I might get better response here.

I am embarrassed to tell my customer that he has to spend such a high price for a simple ball bearing that has failed for his 58 DHC.

I have searched on the 'Net until I am green in the face trying to find a cross reference that would point me in the direction of another manufacturer, but all that I find are very confusing.

The OEM bearing is an R&M unit marked LJ11/8. This crosses to dimensions of 28.58mm X 63.5mm X 15.88mm OR 1 1/8in X 2 1.2in X 0.5/8in.

The idea is to find another manufacturer (Timken-SKF-?)that would have one in a warehouse domestically in the US for a reasonable amount of money.

Thanks for any help that anyone might offer.

These people have supplied me bearings for over 30years, by size rather than Manufacturer.
