Found: Dodge Crankshaft Bearing

[r.morrison]

Gentlemen: Hoping everyone is well. Have a friend coming up from NZ and he is looking for the main crankshaft bearing oversized at .040. This is for a 1943 Dodge 230 Flathead Engine. I have been in touch with firms from British Columbia to Ontario and various parts of the USA. I did luck out with a US firm that had a lot of the original parts, but not the one being required.
So if you have one kicking around or have a possible lead to a supplier, we would be very greatful. Cheers.....Robert

Vintage Power Wagons has them in .030. for $98 a set.

If the 040 size is proving difficult to find: Maybe your friend could find another crankshaft that is suitable for .030. size

Midwest Military, Inc has .040 mains in stock for the 218/230 engines.
