I'm in need of a guitar tailpiece bearing. I have a very much used mosrite and it looks like someone lost the bearing that faces the floor and just jabbed rubber in there.

I think Tym in Australia has them. They are 35 a set. I was wondering if anyone had anything more local (US)

The bearing, on Moseley vibratos at least, is the Torrington B-36. I got some from Baum Hydraulics: http://www.baumhydraulics.com/home.php I forget how much they were, but less than $35 and they got to me in California quickly.

You can probably get them, or order them, through any local bearing house. It looks to be just a standar, housed needle bearing with no inner race.

if you look at the last pic in the first post you can see where some rubber was cut and used as a spacer.

I got mine for a couple of bucks off eBay ... they're not a hard find.
