3 bearing engine center shells needed
#2
Jeff, centre main shells, right?

There aren't many things which will drop straight in.

AE/Glacier M3333M
Vandervell VP91162
Reliant 92627
- will fit, but you'll probably have to file off the locating tabs.
(Don't panic - it's not too hard if  done with care. And the tabs are only for assembly, it's the nip of the shells which stops them rotating in service).
You might also have to drill an oil hole - again, not too hard if approached with thought and care.

Somewhat easier to get hold of are :-
Glacier AEM3282
Vandervell VP244
(Mini 850)
These are a little too wide, but can be clamped in a suitable jig and the excess width trimmed off with a lathe (or even with a junior hacksaw at a pinch - but NOT a grinding wheel), taking great care not to embed swarf in the bearing surfaces!
Same comments about tabs and oil holes apply.

Have a look on eBay as there is usually one of these options.
if you get really stuck give me a shout as I might be able to help.

For goodness' sake don't start trying to turn bearing metal off shells...

it's your lucky day - be quick
