Hi,

My alum hinges blocks are installed in a way that the lenght of the threaded portion of the bearing screwed into the block is barely more than 3/8" (that is, the diameter of the threaded portion; I think that's the minimum acceptable on those?).

I'd like to replace those bearings (argh, not cheap, and I have all of them!) by equivalent ones but with longer thread (now .750);
Would some of you be aware of such bearings ?

Current ones are MS21151-4G bearing (= HEIM REP3M6-2N)
Mandatory dimensions are : outer diam no more than .781, bore .1900, width inner ring .437, and thread 3/8-24RH.


Thanks in advance for the help !

Xav
