Title: Model 9 gearbox bearings
Post by: Badgerman on January 03, 2024, 09:53:10 AM
I need to order a new set of four gearbox bearings for my 1931 Model 9 (3-speed BT box) but I can't make out the stampings. Can anyone give me a list of the four bearings needed, so I can order from Vintage bearings?

Appreciate the help and Happy New year to all

Jamie

Refering to Champs book 'The sunbeam Motorcycle', get a copy if you can.

131--RLS-8
132--EE-6 2 off
5065--RLS-8
These are SKF numbers.

The above address is also a good place to search for part numbers, it was set up by Sean K Kelly.
If you click the HOME button at the top of the screen you will find more  technical info on Sunbeams
Sean spent a lot of his time collating this information.( thank god).
He lists the bearings with as well using a different manufacturers code..the bearings are still widely available.
