<VV> Rolling the dice? green Bearings

[Sethracer at aol.com]

One of the first cautions I heard in the Corvair groups, many years  ago, 
was "Stay away from "Green" Bearings for early models". ("Green" being  a 
type or brand designation, not a color!) The early Corvairs, as well  as all of 
the FCs, use a rear wheel bearing that self-adjusts in two different  ways 
as the suspension goes through it's travel. The factory design bearings  
allow for this, and let the outer race of the bearing swivel during travel. The 
 Green bearing supposedly does not. Okay, I get it. The Green bearings 
supposedly  won't last very long in normal usage, because certain loads are not 
compensated  for by the design. That said, I find myself with two brand-new 
FC size "Green"  bearings. I have no use for these bearings. Rather than 
just drop them in the  steel recycling bin, I thought I would ask if anybody 
has a reasonable need or  use for them. I will not recommend them for regular 
use on an FC. So - -  Anybody have a need for these? I want only the cost of 
shipping them to  you, probably about $12, Priority Mail.
 
Anybody? First Come, First served.
 
I am sure there will be more "strange" stuff. The more I take out, the  
more I find. I feel like an archeologist, digging through  strata.
