I have not seen much about thrust bearings for a while. I had a chance to place these from three different manufacturers side by side today and took a few pictures. I also had a fourth set by AE but they were installed in a different motor Friday. I make no judgments.

closest was made in India, middle was made in england, farthest is from Scott Helms.

The bearing from Scott Helms. This bearing was ordered .0025" oversize.

Helm's bearing sure looks like a "10". Good to see the difference.
