Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 328 Wheel Bearings

[Martin Stark (MStark]

Years ago (and I mean that literally) at a sports car speed/race shop 
(Speedway Custom in Allston, MA) I hung out at, I was given the task of 
grinding about 1 mm from the IDs of a pair of bearings so that they 
would fit Ferrari rear axle shafts. I used a  lathe and a toolpost 
grinder.  IIRC they were sealed, nonseparable ball bearings and I used 
duct (I mean racer's) tape to prevent the inner race from rotating. Do 
you think Ferrari was playing that game back then?

I contacted SKF, USA who checked with their Euro-counterpart and discovered that Ferrari has exclusive marketing rights to this bearing.  Dennis McCann in Westerville, Ohio had the best price I could find.  $475 for a Mondial QV recall kit.  You have to replace the new Mondial stub axle with the 328 stub axle and you are ready to go.
