Wanted H55 86-newer nosecone BJ7*

[FJ40Jim]

We are in need of the 86-later nosecone/frt bearing retainer to fit 86-newer H55 behind a B engine. Toyota PN is 33131-60050, but they are now discontinued. This is the later retainer that has the oiling ears. We already have an '85 retainer, but it doesn't cover the oiling holes in the new H55. If you have one available, please respond in this thread or via PM ("conversation" it's called now).

This pic from another thread shows the oiling ears that are added to latemodel bearing retainers:

Jim
I presume you have checked with Sheldon at G&S. If not, you should. He is a good resource.
Hope you're not getting too cold as I know you're not staying warm!

Thanks for the suggestion Peter. I just emailed Sheldon. We've already checked w/ Georg, Onur, Akella, SOR....

Also have an inquiry pending with amayama.com, but I've never had any luck with them FWIW.

I'll look one more time.

Jim have you checked with Steve Tetu at ebi?

 

[orangefj45]

Sorry Jim, I have two early B-series front retainers but nothing late.

Thanks for looking again Georg.
Amayama turns out to have none (no surprise).
Sheldon only has complete H/F 5speeds, no B series stuff ATM.
Called EBI, they're looking....

I have one. From an '88 BJ74 H55f behind a 13BT engine.
Pictures tonight when I get home.

 

[FJ40Jim]

Thanks Peter. A fellow Canuckian has also produced a pic of one, but I'm still waiting for a total price w/ shipping & a payment method.

If nothing materializes in the another day or so, I'll let you know.

 

[FJ40Jim]

Yesssss....
Steve at EBI has got the used part in the mail to me.

Thanks to everybody who dug thru their parts pile looking for one of these.

Happened to find one in my parts storage today. Good that you already found one so I can keep my precious

 

[FJ40Jim]

Definitely hang onto it. They aren't making any more of them, but they do still make new H55s & new BJ70 input gears. Just need that casting to complete the package.

 

[RufusTheDufus]

Could be a candidate for a knock-off in SolidWorks.

 

[FJ40Jim]

Got one! Steve at EBI shipped a used one from BC, CA. Only took a few extra days to cross the border.

Pictured below L to R, the brand new snout that comes on H55 to fit 2F, the wrong (small bearing) 3B snout, the correct used 3B snout from EBI.

And the new H55 configured for BJ70:

Glad he was able to come through for you Jim

Hi, has anyone got a 3B late H55F snout for sale?
