    After a long wait, 512TR, 512M, 456GT, 456MGT, 550, 575 (6-sped) and 612 (6-speed) owners can now enjoy the longevity of a Hill Engineering clutch bearing in their cars!! If you've seen the rabid following of these Hill Engineering bearings in the 348, F355, and 360 world, you know these are a 'must have' during clutch replacement. (OK, maybe not a 'must have' -- but they certainly fall into the category 'do it once; do it right')

    The bearings arrive pre-fitted with seals (saves time!) and ready for installation. Less expensive than the OEM Ferrari bearing and much improved through the careful design and construction of Hill Engineering in England.

    This is a direct replacement for Ferrari part #177201

    These bearings are available for sale now, and our first batch will arrive at Ricambi America early next week. Whoo hooo !!!

    Have been bugging them for those. Hill stuff is good. Glad they are finally on the market.

    Daniel- Any chance they are working on the F1 bearing as well?

    Brian- I assume you have to change the bearing on every clutch job, as on most cars?

    Most of the low ball clutch estimates thrown around don't include a TO brng because it is an expensive part. Clutch can be done without it and will be long out of any warranty before the TO brng causes trouble. They should always be replaced, stick or F1.

    Brian- Thanks. With a clutch job in the low thousands, does not make sense to me to scrimp on a T/O bearing. Even at 1500 or so dollars for an F1 V12.

    How about belt tensioner bearings for the Testarossa cars? Work in progress I hope or did I miss their introduction?

    Unlike some of the others the OE tensioners for the TR are still a good part.
