[s-cars] needle bearing source?

[Mike Sylvester]

Mihnea is right.  I checked out the www.INA.de and they list the bearing.
It turns out that I measured it incorrectly.  Probably because I was trying
to measure the mangled one that was still in the TB.
I couldn't find the p/n listed on the bearing, F-210146, but it now makes
sense.
the 1014 means 10 ID and 14 OD.  INA lists this bearing with a p/n of HK
1014.2RS.

They do list an office in the US.
INA USA CORPORATION
308 Springhill Farm Road
Fort Mill, South Carolina 29715
Tel.: +1 / 803 / 5 48 85 00
Fax: +1 / 803 / 5 48 85 99

I'll try to contact them on Monday.

thanks Mihnea.
