Powerhouse Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Anyone have a cross ref book that tells what the heck a set of vandervell rod bearing 1899m is and fits? No box just part number and logo on back of shell. Supposedly they are mopar. I have searched for days and also contacted vandervell but they have no way to tell. Thanks in any case.

wayfarer Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 I checked some of my old catalogues but did not find the '1899' or even a variation...interesting... If they are loose, check for approximate journal diameter and shell width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerhouse Posted April 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Thanks. These are a real mystery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niel Hoback Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Vandervell bearings come from England. http://www.carparts.com/vandervell Edited April 18, 2016 by Niel Hoback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerhouse Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Yes. I emailed a few times with them and they have no idea what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayfarer Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 I am surprised that your email was even delivered since Federal-Mogul bought them back in 1998.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFFFrank Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hmmmmm. The 1899M number comes up as a Sealed Power cam bearing set for the 6.0L Ford V-8. Obviously, those aren't rod bearings. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerhouse Posted April 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) I found those cam bearings too right away on a simple google search. The rod bearings are not made under that number anymore. Vandervell still exists at www.vandervell.co.uk They make racing bearings now under the old name. A guy named Alan helped me out and couldn't find any specs but that they were listed for a 50's chrysler product. No other info was available.
