Is this for a 6 bolt or 7 bolt rods? I noticed on my eagles when I opened the box they have a sticker saying to use 89-92 early bearings on their rods, Well it just so happens that Stock 6 bolt Mitsu bearings do not fit those rods as the Tang on the bearins is TOO WIDE... Thank god I had bought Calico Coated ACL bearings, Although the width of the bearings were smaller (exactly like your ACLs in your pics) they fit the Rods just Fine.. The weird thing is would be that the ACLs are 89-92 Early 6bolt rod bearings but have the same Exact width specs of a 7 bolt rod bearings.. They are 21.1mm wide or so instead of 23.5mm like the stock 6 bolt bearings.. I really didnt care that much since the Thickness is the same.. Here is a pic of what im talking about(from evoM forums)... The 6 bolt rod bearing tang is TOO big... but the ACLs fit which are smaller and = the width of a 7 bolt rod bearing..
But yeah I think your tang on those manleys are too Big UNLESS YOU RUN 6 BOLT mitsu rod bearings which are a thicker Tang..

Notes:
ACL 6 bolt Rod Bearings are Exact width of 7 bolt rod Bearings
Manley Rods machined Their tang to accept STOCK 6 bolt MITSU rod bearings
Eagle Rods Even Though they are 6 bolt Rods they are machined to accept 7 bolt Rod bearing Tangs or the Weirded up ACLs..
