ANH Production Accurate Head Bearing Outer Race (Kenny Version)
This is a project run for 10 1:1 scale aluminum head bearings that are historically accurate to the first film.
These are accurate reproduction of the light weight versions that are seen on most of the ANH Kenny units.
This set of 10 will be delivered by the machinist and ready to start shipping on 03/31/2021
This design comes from both the actual physical 1976 blueprints (see photos) as well as input from Neil Anderson who was the machinist who fabricated the originals in 1976. These have been meticulously validated.
What's included in this project run?
This is the first or a 2 project run.
This is the outer half of the bear that can be seen externally.
The parts included are 1 outer 18-1/4" solid aluminum outer bearing and 3 stainless steel locating pins, for a total of 4 components.
The price per set is $450.00 for the 4 components and the shipping containers and packaging. The buyer will need to cover the actual cost of shipping.
What will be included in the follow on project run?
The frame ring, inner bearing brackets, and inner nylon bearing are shown for reference only and will be done very soon as a separate run.
The parts will include 3 mounting brackets, 3 nylon inner bearings, 3 studs, and 6 bolts.
The price per set is $100.00 for the 15components and the shipping containers and packaging. The buyer will need to cover the actual cost of shipping.
