Wheel Bearings

[Silver Creek Sunbeam]

Good Afternoon Sunbeamers...

I wanted to see if anyone could provide modern part numbers for the inner and outer Front Wheel Bearings for my Series V.

I know they are available from the Sunbeam parts houses but I was looking to just pick them up locally. I will need a number that they can look up to do that, as Sunbeam is not on the tip of the tongue or the front of the mind of most NAPA, Autozone, Advance, etc employees. Lol

Any guidance is as always appreciated.

Interesting that the website says "does not fit your vehicle" when I specify 1966 Sunbeam Alpine. But maybe they just don't have that connection in their system any more.

Working off of Jim's info, I found this on the SKF website:

Nice work.

If it helps the Timken numbers are:

Timken 1988-1922 BRG for the inner (larger) bearing.

Timken LM11949 for the outer.

Do both include races?

On the SKF site, it looks like the inner can be bought independently or as a set but the outer only appears to be listed independently.
I do not know about the Timken mentioned above.

The outer is used by Ford, GM, Chrysler and imports. National A2 on Rockauto. BR2 with race on SKF site.

The Timken bearings come complete with inner and outer races but are difficult to locate as they are scarce. when dealers have Timkens they typically add £50 to the list price compered to a standard bearing set.

FYI,
Oreilly Auto stocks the A2 which is the same as A21 @ a cost of less than $7.00 including the race. The other bearing , BR21 has to come from the warehouse. If they stock them I'm sure other stores have them since they all use the same suppliers.
