Swiss made WIB Bearings

[Al Hobbs]

For almost 50 years I have been running Nitro boats. During that time, I used severl different brands of good bearings. Those made in Singapore, Swedish made SKF and Swiss made WIB bearings were the ones I liked the best. Jim Allen convinced me to use only Swiss Made WIB bearings. But those were expensive as I had to buy them through a few layers of distribution and resellers.

Last year I contacted WIB and asked to buy their bearings direct. They have an application form for distributors. A few months ago, WIB agreed to sell me direct at prices almost half of what I had been paying.

My order arrived and I am now selling Swiss Made WIB bearings at competitive prices.

#607 Bearing, the small bearing for almost every 21 size engines is $9.00.
#608 Bearing, the small bearing for some CMB 45 engines, and all MAC and K 45 engines is $10.00.
#6000 Bearing, the large bearing for most drum rotor 21 size engines is $12.00.
#6001 Bearing, the large bearing for some CMB 45 engines, and all MAC and K 45 engines is $13.00.

I should receive a shipment of #6002 bearings in July and a shipment of needle bearings with a few months.

The #6002 Bearing will be $16.00 each. The needle bearings will be sold on packages of 20 needles for $8.00 and packages of 100 needles for $28.00.

Orders for bearings will be charged $6.00 for shipping.

The WIB #6001 bearing is not champfered to fit Zenoah engines.

These are WIB #6001T9H53 with their reinforced phenolic retainers. Here is a photo of the #607 bearing that has the same retainer.

I'll send the order with an invoice. When you receive the package, send me a check.
