Roller bearings 0.25 x 0.50 needed - Peugeot

[AdminGuy]

Can anyone help Daniel out?

Good night ( it is 22 in Paris France ), To restore my vintage Peugeot motorbike ( year 1934 ) I need 17 rolls diameter 1/4 inch , 1/2 inch lenght to overhaul connecting rod. I had contacted all bearing rolls manufacturers, parts are unobtainable. Could you help me if parts are existing in America? I send you a picture, as you can see Peugeot don't look like Indian or Harley........ Regards Daniel

Harley used 1/4 inch diameter rollers in .550" and .490" lengths so you could cut down the long ones or use the shorter and not worry about the .010" . The former were used on right crankcase 45's . old part number 305-29 and the latter on MANY applications including wheel hubs, left crankcase VL's ( should be available from Steve Slocombe in England) many Harley gearboxes etc. etc. Harley 45 restoration will have them as will many other dealers. good luck.
PS Indian also used a .250 roller here and there

I forgot, the old part number for the latter rollers is 2289-25 The nice thing about Harley rollers is that they are generally available in .002 " oversize increments. Indian rollers are also available oversize AND undersize!
