Default Rear strut top bearings

Where can I get bearings for classic rear strut tops? Apart from main stealers.

If you can do without the car, take the whole top mount to any local bearing supplier they should be able to match it up.

Thanks, but The problem I have is the mounts I have are off the car with no bearings in them. I have tein pillow ball mounts on car at moment but want to put standard mounts back on.

Measure the outside diameter of the bearing seat on the strut and the internal diametre of one of your Tein top mount bearings. From memory i think they should be 15mm. You could take that info to a bearing shop along with your top mounts minus the bearing.

I may have a set of Group N mounts for a classic available if you are interested. these are the same as the standard mounts only much stiffer rubber. let me know if you are interested.
