Back wheel bearrings for the +2s 130/5 ?

[antondeja]

Can a wise and nice man give me the original type and numbers for the back wheel bearings ? Elan+2s 130/5

Out is SKF 62 06 2RS ( these are 16 mm high ) , The inner is the same 30 x 62 mm size but 21 mm high ??? so i am looking for that number ??

Or can i put 2 x SKF 06 2RS ones in ??? with a 5 mm adjusting ring to get to the circlips ?



Thanks Anton

Hi Anton

Not sure why you want the numbers but be aware that one of the bearings is a special.

Here in the UK it's as easy to get them from one of the Lotus specialists such as Paul Matty or Sue Miller as it is from a general bearing stockests and you'll pay no more. I paid approx ?10 and ?17 each for mine from Sue.

Hi Anton

While it is possible to replace the larger inner bearing with the same smaller 6206 bearing as the outer with a spacer it is not advisable. Lotus in the earlier Elans started with 2 x 6206 bearings but moved to the larger bearing with the Issue 18 casting after a few years as the inner 6206 bearing proved to be a weakness.

Dont have the inner bearing number with me but will look it up tonight if you dont get an answer

Hi, and hope this helps:

the original inner bearing SKF was replaced by 361964, this info from SKF some time ago. The outer bearing being SKF 6206 2RS or NSK 6206 DDU or FAG 6206 2RSR C3. Christopher Neils are currently selling the set of 2 SKF bearings for about ?13 plus vat.
