    Yup, most any bearing supply place can get them, nothing special about those 3.

    I ended up getting mine off amazon.com from a bearing supply company, has some issues with the seller and won't go into that. I did end up buying shielded bearings which are a hair more price wise.

      I'll try to get some way to measure the actual flex/force before and after the brace to try and help with the controversy over whether or not the brace does much if anything. ////////////Wouldn't worry about it, no flexing will take place with brace, plus the guide bushngs will be happier not taking the full side-force load.
