Wanted: Fan bearing EAC3437

[EightynineXJS]

Hello fellow Jaguar enthusiasts

I've been restoring my 1989 XJ-S V12 for three years now (two in Hungary, one at home in Switzerland). Next project is replacement of the worn engine fan bearing. Part number is EAC3437. On the back of the bearing "FPS 380" is stamped. Does anyone have an NOS or good as new fan bearing? Is it possible to refurbish such bearings (combined roller and ball bearing)?

In case anyone is interested, I can share my experience with the restoration in Hungary. I have both good and bad experiences and if someone is considering a rebuild there, I have valuable tips.

Hi KR. As you've already found, that part is now NLA from Jaguar - good luck in finding one!
I would be very interested in seeing the story of your restoration and I'm sure many other members would too.
Do you feel like posting some pictures and a few words on here? We coukd even make a magazine article out of it.
If you'd like to do that then please contact me at XJS.jec@gmail.com.
