I need to know the the number of the Hime joint that will fit a set of Ohlins.

I was given a few set of remotes & I'm also trying to rebuild my Piggyback's for my 490 Maico.

The ones I found online are about $50 a set, jeez it a stinking bearing that should sell for about $8-$10 a set at a bearing house!

If you don't know the part number, measure an old one and go here to get a part number, or measure the bore, width between circlip grooves, and bolt diameter to figure out what you need.

Aurora makes both inch and metric sizes in everything from commercial to aircraft spec.

We used them all over our Daytona Prototype racing cars with good results.

C&R Racing is a good source for Aurora bearings with good prices.

By the way, 'Heim' is a brand name. You are looking for a spherical bearing!

Another place you might find what you are looking for is Airplane Spruce & Speciality, they have 2 stores and are on line also.

That's a good source for a lot of stuff if you don't have time to shop around, but they are a bit pricey.

Aircraft Spruce is a good source for hard to find aircraft-spec rivets.
