Kustom Socks
Description: Founded by Tony Anderson and Paul Wexler in the mid '40s, A&W Bearing Service was a Seattle machine shop specializing in babbitt bearings. While now largely obsolete, Babbitt bearings were a custom bearing made from babbitt metal that was common in just about every pre-war automobile engine. While the shop started out doing basic replacements, as post war hot rod culture and drag racing took off, A&W got into doing more performance oriented work, including complete race balancing, which involved meticulously balancing a crankshaft, pistons, push rods, and other components to optimize performance. A&W continued to be the go to shop for old school machine work in the Pacific Northwest, including babbitt bearings, into the early 2000s.
