Those are special order, and only the dealer can install them. It is a very complicated procedure, so they will charge an accordingly high rate....Just hope that its only one bearing, and not all four of them that are bad...

geeze i dont know that bearing looks pretty rare my muffler has two bearings that r smaller and i think ull find one like that around so u may have to have one customly made out of stainless steel because when i had some made i had them made out of aluminum and they melted and clogled my mufflers and eventully took out my apex seals

The rubber hangers that support the exhaust system are called "muffler bearings" in Europe, since they "bear" the weight of the muffler.
I've got a whole parts bin full of 'em.

Yeah, the front ones went in easy! I think I over packed the rear ones. If you noticed I had to cut them out, so you need a welder to fix it at the house. Now people can understand why RB mufflers cost so much, they use high impact silicon bearings in theres.

I buy my muffler bearings, blinker fluid, and winter air (for the tires) at KaleCo.

Muffler bearings? You can't seriously be putting new bearings into a muffler with such an obviously worn Jimson's Saddle...
Piston Return Springs-
KaleCo has produced the highest quality piston return spring to date! High temperance material coated in a thick rubber sleeve resists engine temperatures up to 2500'f. KaleCo piston return springs FORCE the pistons back into the motor, no longer rely on gravity! This effectively increases your revs, horsepower, and peak torque! You must buy one return spring per piston. Rotary engines require some cutting of rubber sleeve.

I couldn't find muffler bearings for the rotary engine anywhere. I did, however, find a little fan to fit on the end of pistons or apex seals that creates forced out-duction. It forces the air OUT of the port during the exhaust stroke, allowing for fresher intake charge on the next revolution.

That's rite up there with the "true" definition of parts warrentties.
Lifetime warrentty = the life of the part
Limited Lifetime warrentty = if the part breaks in 1/2, both halves are yours, no extra charge
of course, there is also the 30/30 warrentty. 30 seconds or 30 feet from time of purchase.
The best one has to be the "garrenteed fit", it's garrentteed to fit.....something else

Muffler bearings
Don't forget if you use the oversized muffler bearings that the exhaust pipe must be cross drilled and dual taurus se fans must be used to lower the exhaust temp.
If this is not done the gonkalator valve will not craete enough backpressure to activate the fluxcapacitor. Oh, almost forgot to add needs to be triggered by the
dual jigawatt reverbarating solenoid wired directly to the main infusion generator
for proper boost. rx7doctor

Then upgrade the radiator to an early VW beetle (on a budget) or Porsche 911 (money not a problem)

Also i just got an update on the boost system for the cusinart, the memo states the following. " Under HARD acceleration at least 2- 500 megajule Viagra pills must be induced into the system. Remember to be carful though, if you use too much and the boost will not retract you will have to see your technician as soon as possible or the flow of jigawatts will be cutoff and the gonkalator valve will explode. rx7doctor

I've heard that a Manual Inline Lift Fluctuator for the muffler will help increase ground clearance when traveling along gravel roads. Is this true? Has anyone tried one of these?
