Where to Get Replacement SuperNow Spherical Bushings

Does anyone know where exactly to buy the replacement Supernow Spherical Bushings (NMB Japan) from my Front LCA offset camber and caster bushings. I am looking to get 4-8 replacements. PandaRX7 posted a picture of one of the supernow sphericals in his build thread. Not sure which one exactly.



I assume the front offset LCA are the same units as each other and as all the others (front UCA, rear various). Although I don't know for sure. I don't have a press here and can't remove the spherical bushing without one. I was hoping to have the replacement Bushings on hand when I go to the shop for the press to make it one trip. If anyone knows the dimensions or the exact part number / replacement unit (I image from NMB-minebea Japan), please let me know where to get it. I've confirmed the following measurements with the bushing pressed in place in my LCA.:



W 17mm, B 14mm & O 18.9mm are good.

Without knowing more information, this is the ONLY bushing I could find the meeting the dimensions I know:
MBW14CR/MBW14VCR at eminebea here:
Spherical Bearing

Again, I NEED TO CONFIRM "Diameter" D and Case "Height" H or the exact part number for replacement and source of replacement. Also, do I get the "V Groove type" of not?

Thanks
Jake

SuperNow didn't make the bearing. NMR did as you can see on the bearing carrier.

Check with the US based race bearing companies like Aurora. Some links:

I will. Just need the spec since I don't have the bearing pressed out.
