Good evening! Here before me is a Penn Jigmaster conversion with accuplates. Both spool bearings are toast. However, all my sources say we no have that size bearing. Height of the bearing is 4.0 mm, OD 9.5mm x 2.75 ID. Anyone know an alternative supplier for bearings? Boca and Smoothdrag both don't offer that size. Thanks!

It's not metric. Try searching for 1/8 x 3/8 x 5/32 (ID x OD x depth is standard order of dimensions to describe a bearing) and you'll get better results.
I have some, if you strike out finding them, PM your address and I'll drop them in the mail
Are you able to get the old ones out? They can be tough at times
Hi Andy,
See that little dot in the center of the bearing? That is a cone shape protrusion to keep the spool positioned in the bearing making it difficult to pull the bearing especially if you don't have a bearing puller like the one ReelSpeed made years ago.
If you can't get the out, send the caps to me and I'll pull them out and return the empty caps and a bearings to you. Let me know if this will work for you.
Bryan
Thank you! :d
Morning Andy,
I have replacement cups, bearings, and O-rings if you need them. Shoot me a PM.
