has them all for right at $30 + $3 shipping. They also have the National CR numbers so you can get 'em local if you want, but you'll pay more.

Weird thing, the 1500 Spit and 1500 Midget balancer sleeve is different.

National calls 'em "redi-sleeves".
 
I paid $8 for the last one I got a few years ago.
 
From where? This is the cheapest I've ever seen them and I used to sell them.
 
Well, it was for the front crank pulley on an Opel CHI engine. Don't have a clue what you guys are talking of using them for so must be something different? Item 6131 apples and oranges?
from here
 
Same part, different ap. STUPID low price !!! Man, if only it would fit MG's.

They rerally should cost $8 but folks know you can't live without it if you need one and hose us.

Those are neat cars. I've always wanted one
 
I wanted an Opel GT since I was 8. I loved mine until, well, see below. I swear the Opel guys told me the specs I needed for a sleeve and get it at a bearing shop, but it was a few years back. I just ordered it from above site. Yes, Opel GT is a gorgeous car. Not necessarily a very good sports car, not bad, just not great. It was fun but the Midget is much more fun to drive around, but there are few cars with as sexy a body as that silly little Opel. May she rest in piece.

Someday if I behave I might be able to get another Opel GT. With enough HP and some suspension work, it would be glorious. Still not a convertible though and the Opel GTs that have been made into convertibles.....no. Midget for really nice weather. Opel for questionable and cold. Haven't found my perfect winter beater yet, but I'm working on it.
