I have used Dowel Pins in custom size, low speed applications, McMaster has a wide selection.

If you want the needle bearings without a cage you can search for “loose needle rollers”.

yes, i think they are available somewhere, i am going to have to talk to someone at timken etc.
this is for an evinrude outboard. i am following another lead that the needles are still available for a lawnboy lawn mower!

They used to be made by Torrington, Bob. My information is 30 yrs old.

Edit: OK, maybe 50 yrs old.

What diameter/length do you need??

Lily Bearing might have a listing.
