Anyway, the bearings are flanged, no spacer in the middle and have regular 10mm OD and normal width (4mm IIRC) so nothing special should be easy to get.
Glad I removed the knuckles from the hubs I didn't realise they had metal inserts for the threads which is nice, are they still available new?
One thing you are going to need is a spacer for the knuckle as they are not as tall as the OT-16 and are a very loose fit in the C-hubs, or maybe you have different hubs to mine.
I need a favor from you James, when next you speak to Stephen at Fibrelyte can you find out what is going on with my order

Dan,
Sorry mate for messing you around - the bearings sizes, i need the exact width dimensions from one side of the flanged edge to the other and would summise the bearing sidewall Is 10mm across and inside as 4mm.
Yes metal inerds on the king pin screw holes and no havent found any new ones, from what i gather they only did a limited run of these. Mine were given to me by a Racer mag writer but he couldnt find the bearings. I will space out as you recomend but is very easy to do as all you need is the washers section that comes with a part for the zxs as on that you can raise or lower the knuckle arm.
I will call Stephen on Monday & find out where they are with your order but would guess its been delayed a bit.
