Connecting Rod and Main Bearings. Does ANYONE ELSE make them?

Is there anyone else that makes these parts? Its roughly 350 per set for these at the dealer and mini mania.

Your price actually beats what I found. I posted this in another thread yesterday: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...14-post19.html. I never found bearing prices, only the rods.

Way cheaper than what I paid for a set for a '74 Maserati Merak- the rods were $1200 a set and the mains another $600!

yup their bearing prices are rediculous...I bought a used crank for a Izuzu v6, had it turned, and bought .020 over rod & main bearings all for under $300.
