Title: Ambassadeur Bearings ?
Post by: Drisse on April 05, 2014, 08:51:08 PM
Hi !

I bought a set of bearings and bushings on a swedish auction site that was supposed to fit Ambassadeur 7000. No measurments in the text. I didn't recognize any of the bearings when I opened the package. Didn't pay that much, so I won't send them back. But I'm curious what Ambassadeur model they fit ? Anybody know the sizes ?

Innerdiam. x Outerdiam. x width
Bearings:

7x17x5 mm
5x13x4 mm
5x11x4 mm

Bushings:

5x13x4 mm

Thanks in advance !

5x11x4 fits at least to ambassadeur 2500c.

Don't know of the others.

5x11x4 you can use for C4 and Record spools...

There's a list on this site, might not be complete though but still a bit heplful.
As far as I could tell the 7x17x5 is for Shimano or Daiwa reels, not used by ABU.
5x13x4 this is an odd one, couldn't find a match at all for fishing reels, although in truth I only spent a few minutes looking  ;D
5x11x4 as above, I might also add the Mörrum SX uses the same bearing on one side of the spool (#10262). According to Alan's list also used by Shimano.

Thanks alot Mooki. I know about the list, and had a look at it. But thought it maybe could be to older Ambassadeurs and not mentioned in the list or something like that ?
Needed the info so I can contact the seller and tell that the info is wrong.

Thanks !

Sent the seller a mail, and he just read what was written on the plastic bags. Told me that he had a bunch of bearings in different sizes in an old box with Abu logos. The seller has sold a lot of Abu spares, so I guess the bearings is meant to fit some Abu reels. But wich models ?

Could the bigger bearings / bushings 5x13x4mm maybe fit older bigger reels like Ambassadeur 20 ?

Thanks in advance !

Ambassadeur Morrum 7700CL use a 9x17x5 bearing on the drive shaft and 10x15x4 spool bearings, - will try to check a smaller morrum later to see if they match your set.

5x11x4mm as spoolbearings for some models. For example Ambassadeur Mörrum 6600CL, Mörrum SX, C4, 2500 and Record. Also fit some Shimano reels (models ? ).

5x13x4mm as spoolbearing for Ambassadeur Mörrum 6600CL.

5x13x4mm bushing ? Did early Mörrums have bushings ?

7x17x5mm should fit some Shimano and Daiwa reels (models ? ).
