Ace wheel bearings

[AEX 31]

Dear all,

I’m looking for some new (NOS!) wheel bearings for AEX 31. Especially the rear outer bearings. So if anybody has a set of Ransome and Marles LDJ 40 bearings for sale or knows of anybody that might have some for sale, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Original R&M Bearings are between £90 & £ 130 each but the i believe bearings 4208 are possibly same specification & are £ 35 for a quality make, budget bearings are cheaper!!
Most Bearing specialists will be able to source the alternative which is used on many makes of car back axles!

Hello everybody,

I did order some 4208, Koyo bearings from Henderson Bearings. When inspecting these bearings I noticed a slight axial play. It moves just fractionally with just a slight push with my fingers. I spoke with another AC enthusiast who has some nos FAG bearings and he tells me that he can’t detect any play at all in those.

Any thoughts from anybody on this? I also spoke to Henderson’s but they couldn’t really advice at all.

Grateful for any input.

Regards Jonas
