I need some iron ball bearings that are about 3-4inches in diameter and I need them to be iron so that I can get some rust build up on them. I tried calling a couple of hardware stores but they usually only carry steel ball bearings and small ones at that. Any idea what kind of store would have LARGE iron ones? Thank you.
Hello, Perhaps a cannon store (I think you need cannon balls)....I used to deal with Southbend Replicas in Indiana. That was many years ago, but they're probably still around. Paul
Try King Bearings. If you live in a large town,or a city,they should have a store there. Check out the Yellow Pages.
I doubt anyone makes iron ball bearings. Steel rusts also. Do you really want ball bearings? they can be expensive as they are manufactured to tight tolerances to insure they are perfectly round. .
