Interesting to see the bearing is marked INDIA; presumably made in India. Not knocking the quality since FAG and a nation are putting their names on it. I just find it interesting seeing where stuff is being made.

Seems that some still have not got it - the bearing in this spec and clearance is only made in India, anywhere else it is likely to be NOS, or of a different clearance. An Austrian company with a global reach the quality is assured, their Indian plant is one of their newest and most modern.

Really Madnorton? We are saying the exact same thing, so who is not getting what?

Aside from manufacturing origin, the bearing shown shows etched on its race a whole lot more information. Interesting.
