Well, I went thru the search function for as long as my eyeballs could stand it & found nothing on this. I have an old Shoreline trailer with 32 wobble rollers & they all need replacing. These have molded-in steel inner bushings that ride on 3/4" diameter shafts & have a 1" bearing length. I have searched a lot of sites & all the new rollers I see have 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" nylon bearings that just are too wide to fit on the existing shafts without covering up the hole for the retainer clip. Does anybody know of a replacement wobble roller that has a 1" bearing length & where I can get them?

Well, the Champion people were nice enough, but they had no idea what I was after. After a ton of searching, ends up that the only thing still made that has less than 1-1/4" bearing length is this Yates one - it has a 5/16" molded-in bearing:

Sorry, iboats, but I can get these locally for under 6 bucks ea with no shipping. Gotta save the 80 clams this time!
