[Public-list] Cutlass bearing...

[John Birch]

Hi Gord,
Cost me $35 to do that at Dan's Welding in Burlington, Ontario - the bearing 
was $50 - so it is quite cheap to have done for you. Hope this is a help.
Thx.
Cheers,
John

> Take the new bearing and housing with old bearing installed to a machine

> Make sure the cut the water inlet holes. The cost is minimal.
