Elise Sport 160 Front Wheel Bearing

Hi, have just gone for a warrant and need to change the left front wheel bearing, does anyone know where I can get one in NZ or whom is the best internet supplier in the UK is. Still no Piston Headers in Rotorua that I know of

Mark, get one from Eliseparts... they stock the real deal ones and can get them to you in about a week.

If you're really at a push, I have a brand new one sitting here. I pressed it in and pinched the seal on it so took it out again... it's fine other than I didn't want to risk it in the Exige long-term.

Hi George, I'll get one from elise parts, which one is the correct part?? they list a 68mm, 72mm, 76mm and a Timken bearing but don't state what vehicle they fit.

I found this useful - (and disturbingly interesting reading)

Theres a part number here, I think all S1 derivatives use the same one

I can also recommend eliseparts for quick delivery

Mark, the bearing is the 68mm one... the 72/76mm ones are for the motorsports uprights and the aftermarket uprights... unless you've a Motorsports Elise or have the EP uprights (you don't) then the 68mm one is the right size.

The remaining two bearings are both 68mm ones, the "timken" one is just the genuine, higher quality item. I'd recommend going for this one as there have been horror stories about non-genuine ones and their lack of longevity.

Hi Guys, thanks for all the help, I got the Timkin bearing (4days $118)from elise parts, she's all fitted legal and going good.
