Yes Randy closed up about a year or two...long gone.
|
Yea Griff, that would be the same bolt pattern for sure. I think I can work with that and for under $20. each I'm sure I can make it work, Very helpful. I know Randy closed up but like I said the number is still active for parts but getting a message thru was a little wonky. Randy must have sold the box design to Everett. Their even calling their boxes Stellings
|
Have you talked to Everett? I am curious if they have it in stock. I hope they have all this stuff or can get it.
The pillow block with bearings was about $450 complete with bearings years ago. I think... |
Not yet, I'll probably use the Merc water necks and modify them if theres any clearance issues. The Stellings ones had a few more bends in them but I like to machine everything out to accept AN fittings and braided lines anyway. The bearings I just needed the numbers anyway. I can press them in and out myself. I did them awhile back but like a dumazz I tossed the old ones in a box and don't know which are which. Why would you need to replace the pillow block itself? Pretty much a solid unit to damage it enough to need replacing.

I keep a spare one. If you hear the bearings going, when necessary, you can just pop the carrier in, shim it, put the drive back on and you are back on the water in an hour. |
Ok here we go ,took some pics of the bearings and waterneck of my stellings box

Your water neck is completely different from mine. Mine is just like the Merc one and uses the hose for the bends.
