Default brake bell cranks

Hi, Does anyone one happen to know if those needle bearings are still available for the bell cranks, I have just stripped one down and found most of those needle rollers have diserpered into the front lawn.

Kevin, I may have some really poor condition bell cranks (cut and very rusty) they may well have bearings in them. I will have a look tomorrow. I bet i dont find a speedo drive though !

I would have said magnet. Failing finding some or shaun coming to the rescue get some wire same gauge as the needle bearing and cut it to length

I think you will find any brass bushed ones are like that as a result of a repair.
I think they all had needle rollers.
