B3 / T3 Bearing Kits?

Post by 2BornotB2 »

I have a T3 Sport kit that I found on a local buy/sell page, but it comes with bronze bushings.

Would a bearing kit for B2/B3 also fit? I'm reading into Fast Eddy bearings, but it doesn't appear they have a bearing kit anymore - any other suggestions?

I'm in Canada if that helps.. thanks!

Their website shows the T3 kits in stock... though if you're trying to buy from a vendor with a lower price my suggestion would be to compare the instruction manuals to be 100% sure, then buy the kit that fits your needs.

Or you could compare the product listings on Fast Eddies site to see if the contents are the same between the kits.

But if you're looking for the quickest answer... yes, the bearings are the same between the two.

As a Sport, it has the 1/4" rear axles right? If so, none of the team kits are going to work since they had 3/16" axles. Probably be better off to buy them individually.

Good point about the axles, I didn't know they were sized differently. I'll have to dig deeper into the manuals and compare them.

I know I'll need front wheel bearings and for the stealth transmission at the minimum.
