Make sure you specify the exact size (ID OD and Thickness)
They will quote you a price and have them out in a jiffy.
Their web site is set up more for industrial customers so you can't really look at stuff and make web orders. We stumbled on them looking for a small v-belt that I had bought from an RC store. They had it and LOTS of other stuff.
Help introduce them the FIRST as we have.

Ordered 10 from Weimer Bearing - spoke with Marty. $7.93 each. They are not 100% identical to AM, but close - the internal hex piece sticks out past the flange a bit more than the AM, so they say. Confirm details if you call them.

They said they found ~100 of these bearings from their sources.

Thanks also to others who've offered to share parts via PM!

R.C. - looking forward to it!
