Not sure what you are refering to Bob. I saw on Astromart that someone was 
selling 8.75" "Airplane Trunions." They looked exactly like what is on the 
Obsession 15". So in my post I referred to them as such so to avoid the 
complicated "I am looking for prefabricated aluminium semicirclar altitud 
bearings that are x ID by y OD, without any spokes, blah, blah, blah." I 
apologize for the confussion.....
