Hi Rich A friend discovered the cross reference this side of the pond and these bearings are quite easy to come by and not all that expensive. They come in three parts with the inner rings retained by the tightness of the balls. My simple test is to take the hub off and see if the bearing falls apart. If it does, it's time for a new one, if not, just get the grease gun on it, or wait till it goes bad - like I said, not too expensive.
