what Cobra truer to you have? I just called Team Cobra the other day and ordered arbors direct for my Deluxe trackside truer. Give them a call... And ask for one of the "machinist" guys... the salesman I talked to @ first was CLUE-LESS. However once I got a machinist on the phone he was VERY helpful. I told him what size bearings and rims and he gave me the part #'s and got them ready to ship... If they don't have it yet they also can "make" them.. Just have calipur ready in case they ask for dimensions... I should see them in a week he said.
