456GTA Torque Tube Bearings.

This is a great initiative... I ended up re-using my rubber housings and changed the NSK Bearing on the inside. I had a an edge grooved into the housing and used a C snap ring to lock in the bearing. Used plenty of green loctite as per Constantine's recommendation.

It did the job fine and cost me about 500$. However, I definitely would have preferred using a new alternative like the one you mentioned above. At that price it's a no-brainer.

I know the production may be costly but I would ask Daniel at Ricambi and/or other part suppliers if they would resell them for you or you could put them up on eBay as a permanent listing. I'm sure this is going to come up again as these cars age and Ferrari's replacement parts are priced at 2000$ a piece.

Thanks to efforts like yours that we can contribute to making a great brotherhood and helping each other out. No offense to Ferrari but sometimes with these cars we need all the help we can get.

 

Hi fellow 456 fans,
I've ordered a set of bearings from Scott already, but I'd like to publicly acknowledge my appreciation for his making these bearings a reality.
It takes a lot of careful effort to reengineer parts for our cars so we can continue to enjoy them on the road.
So, thank you very much!
Bill Harrod

 

Maybe you could interest Ricambi or Eurospares in buying some?

 

Thanks Scott. Somehow I can’t open the attached images.
Does it work for 456M GTA? How to order?
