arse! we've got both bearing sizes in work but the bearing seal is not a standard shaped seal. though i cant see why a standard one wouldn't work with a 10mm rubber washer stuck to it. apparently the seal only comes with the kit :(

me again, just checked a bearing chart and come up with...
25x52x15 bearing number 6205 (this matches my outer bearing number also) cant check it against my inner bearing as it is obliterated but 30x62x16 bearing number 6206, just checked, these are from £2.60 to about £6 on ebay and seem a common bearing.

standard hotpoint bearing on the outside 25mmx52mm and a larger 30mmx62.5mm, im going to work tomorrow to see if we carry the larger one, if not then i'll go to my local bearing stockist, DRB. ellelephant69 at yahoo dot co dot uk.

Most machines use (2 bearings,) the inner is closest to the drum,has the biggest hole in center for spider shaft the outer has the smaller hole and is closest to the drive wheel.To measure a bearing for size you need to measure the outside diameter (OD) and inside diameter(ID) of BOTH bearing.4 MEASUREMENTS WILL BE NEEDED as the OD may NOT be the same size front and back,The best way is a digital caliper,this measures internal/external very accurately.
