<-=- Club Bevel Heaven -=->

Hi Can anyone tell me the number on the side of the bearings in the lower bevel housing please, the number on the ones I have just taken out are'nt very clear, its something like skf 7203A i've done a search for this and come up with a 7203bep? if anyone could help that would be great.
Cheers Big Andy

I s'pose you mean these two, Andy?


Unfortunately, I can't confirm/deny your numbers. But, assuming you're reading the code right, FWIW:

The Good News:
The SKF code 7203 matches the size given in the parts book - 17x40x12.

The Not So Good News
The '72' means they're angular contact bearings and the 'A' means the contact angle is 30°.

Go http://www.skf.com/files/151315.pdf

Unfortunately, Simply Bearings (for example) don't list the 'A' bearing; just the 'B' which has a 40° contact angle. And I can't find any direct reference on SKF's own site, either.

And I can't see any listing for these in either Steve's shop or at Mdina. However, Andy Nienhagen does list them, under the Ducrappi part number: 75380 1747. Price is €46.50. But it might be worth giving Andy Jones at Mdina a call anyways ...?

Anyways, HTH.

Many thanks Craig will chase your leads up.
Thanks again Andy

Andy,

At last the search is over and I can tell you all the Number for the bottom bevel housing bearings being supplied is 7203BEP, bought them locally for £25.00 for two.
I'd like to thank Andy Jones at Mdina for being such a great guy, guys like Andy are a invaluable source of information for us who no nothing and are just starting in the Ducati bevel world.
Many thanks again Andy and thanks to everyone who passed on there info
Big Andy
