bearing for spider

[Michael R.]

I have no information on other than Ford Windsor production.
Heads up though: On Ford Windsor production, the bearing for the steering column base was changed at Serial number 4942. The original bearing was p/n# C01UC-100305. That bearing was known in Manual FUC-03 as SKF-RM8, with dimensions given as 1 x 2/1/2 x 3/4.

However, due to unavailability of SKF RM8, a bearing kit was supplied with a new bearing, C01UC-100307, complete with a bushing, spacer, and bearing housing. The replacement bearing had fourteen balls vs eleven in the previous design. That replacement bearing kit with the spacer, called a "liner" is on page 192. By the time the No.3 and No.4 Windsor Carrier series were being produced, their FWC-02 manual shows a return to the supply of bearing SKF-RM8 for fitting to the column assembly.

The steering column base bearing should not be confused with the three SKF-6305 steering cam and roller(s) bearings in Ford Windsor Production. You will see the price difference when you order these two different bearings.
