'Pete,Try MSC industrial Supply, if they don't have it they can usually get it. Their paper catalog is larger than most city phone books, @ 4" thick. You can find them online, great people to deal with.

'Richard,
I looked in the Univair catalog and found Stinson bearings but can't tell if they are the same ones. I'll have to get some dimensions from them.

'A possible source for this bearing is a company, Banaire in Banning, California. They specialize in the AT-6 and BT-13 parts. They sell aircraft bearings applicable to these and other airplanes. They have a chart with photos, part numbers and bearing dimensions. It is listed in the, Aviation Surplus listing. There is a bearing listed, KP-4. Knowing how part numbers get changed from time to time possibly this could work. Hope this helps.
