Default bearings

Im after some bearings for the rear wheels.I have the sierra rear set up with disks.The bearing is SKF BT1B328053.This has a 68mm o/d and 41mm i/d.
I am unsure what particular model of sierra this set up is from.I have tried many local bearing specialists and this bearing is listed as manufacturer only eg Ford.
I have found some cheapies on ebay but never heard of the manufacturer;Vetech !!

I have emailed a few of the other ads on ebay for the dims but very slow response.I know Burton power list some but no dims listed

Anyone know where to get what i need or any advice appreciated( UK suppliers ok )

go to your local autofactors and have a look in one of thair wheel bearing books
you will probably find all wheel bearing kits are the same for all sierras with disc back ends (will be handed as nuts are left and right handed) if not there is usualy a bit of data to check what is the diffrence

Do you know the number plate that the disk set up came from? That would help as I could put you in touch with a company I recently bought mine from, failing that I can find the manufacture and PN's for the bearings used on my disc set up for a 2.0i ghia j plate sierra... let me know and I'll find them tmrw for you

All.... just a word of cuation, if you rae buying wheel bearings for Rear Disc set-up make sure you tell the motorfactors if it's ABS or Non-ABS. Most companies now have a system that will auto recommend based on your number plate.... I did this and it still returned the wrong ones so you need to be explicit when ordering.... much to my despair the ABS wheel bearings are twice the price of non-ABS set-up
