Default Anyplace to buy Torque Tube bearing carriers?

I can't seem to find them and the ones I have removed so far are junk.

I've found TT for less than that. They can keep them.

I believe the only place to get them is to part out a TT.

Jager sells them for the 'super' price of $150. Buy a used tt for that and get 4.

Constantine was going to make some. He is in the testing process. I have talked to him a lot about it and it looks like they won't be available for several more months.

I personally don't want to leave this car taken apart in my garage for that much longer.

One of the guys local to me researched this a couple months ago. Information here:

Might be an option for you. No affiliation, but a super nice guy.

He is talking about the collars, not the carriers in that link. I have all those parts.

I believe Cole wants the part that goes between the TT and the bearing, not the part between the bearing and the driveshaft.

I'd hate to wait if m ycar were apart too. My tt is pretty noisy and I'd like to change the bearings out, but I'm hoping ot ba able to hold out until Constantine is ready with his units. Sounds like you're on top of it!
