How will that help?
Anyway, today I picked up a kilo of V1-A best bearing alloy from GWN, a family owned business who were happy to do a small quantity 'cash in hand'. Also today I picked up a 1.5hp 3-phase motor won yesterday on eBay. Chatting to its previous owner (a Myford owner BTW) mentioned I was planning to pour a bearing but was having problems finding a suitable melting ladle. To my surprise he rummaged in his garage and produced an old but servicable 6" dia leading pot with a spout and wooden handle, ideal for the job, so that changed hands for a further £2.50!
