Triumph TR6 - Tip on Rear Hub Bearings

Guys:

Pulled the hubs with the puller pictured in previous posts and learned that the bearings were original equipment Timken units.
The "Big Two" suppliers beginning with "M" and "T" respectively list the bearings at $29.50 per side ("M") and $84.95 per side ("T"). The "T" place specifies only the high-quality Timken brand but "M" does not specify their brand. I bought the bearings at a local bearing supplier who had them in stock. I am still trying to get a number off the grease seals but here are the Timken part numbers for the bearings:
Large - $14.02 CDN ea. - 2 req'd - #LM29749
Small - $9.84 CDN ea. - 2 req'd - #L44649
Seals are Chicago Rawhide, which was bought by SKF Bearings. As soon as I get a match I will post part # and price. Your price in the States will likely be less. Good luck.
