Does anyone know where I can purchase the top bearing for the english wheel plans posted on this site. All the ones I have found are no where near 8"-9".

The bearing is about an inch wide, and 3" diameter. It can be obtained at an auto supply store. It is listed as an axle bearing for an 8" or 9" ford rear end.  the part number is RW-207CCRA

Thanks Enjenjo. I am not up on cars so I go a little confused with the description. I need the English whhel to shape some parts for my chopper.

Good luck with the wheel. I've used mine to form some bike parts.

Some guys use an industrial caster wheel for an upper wheel.
Just turn the od until it runs concentric with the bearings.
