They are similiar but the ears on the Vauxhall one are longer. The standard method is to move the ears from the original Vauxhall one to the replacement, the Marina bearing may be available through Rimmer Brothers.

I now have a supply of direct fit centre bearings for the 30mm shaft prop fitted to later post 73 cars. Earlier cars have a 1" shaft and require a spacer made to suit.

My bearings are a direct replacement and fit without any modification to bearings or mounting crossmember, just the removal of the original spacers.

Currently priced at £48 plus postage but subject to import charges and currency variations as they are sourced from outside the UK.

Obviously this is your business and we don't want to short circuit that. But, Wayne and I are both located outside the UK and I am also potentially interested. Is there a way to drop ship or something that doesn't involve VAT?
