I need info on any place that I can get the front hub bearings for my 1972 500L. I am in the United States and typically I use a local place called Mr.Fiat here but they tell me the part is on back order with no available release date. I tried FD Ricambi and they too show back order. I did find these folks frtuning/it in Italy but they don't ship to the US. Does anyone have any info on whom will ship to the US that has the part? Any help is really appreciated.

I ordered mine from ricambio in the UK. The shipping on small orders can hurt, but if you can get a good order together, you’ll often save substantially over MrFiat. I likely won’t order anything large from MrFiat anymore. Their customer service, selection, stock, and pricing have been pretty disappointing as of late. Ricambio stuff has arrived within 3 days and their customer service is great. Way better selection too.
I have got a brand new set of top quality original SKF , made in Italy, front wheel bearings going spare should you be interested.

My advice would be to take up David's (Toshi) offer! If not, try Mark at "Motobambino" over here in the UK. I use Mark a lot, and get 1st class service--and he will post to the U.S. Ther seems to be a general shortage of these bearings at the moment--niether Axel Gerstl or Van de Laan have them in stock. Another possible source is "Passione" in Italy.
Do you have paypal?
Yes , no problem ?
