Not sure if you have an Allied Bearings in Vic however, I'm sure you'd have a bearing business of some sort near where you are..

A quick google turned up Metro Bearings in Clayton South, Vic maybe give them a try...

Thank you for your advise bought 4 bearings from Metro Bearings. They were 1 mm wider. Worked without any issues.
