Worst case, I will hound JB until I get them to call back or answer the phone.

Fafner bearing-mistery solved.
Spoke with JB Conversions today. They got right back to me. The bearing is a stock Fafner item, but has to be machined inside to make a slipfit as opposed to a press fit. I ordered two. One to replace the one I shipped to the OP and one for a spare. I suggest anyone who has this setup order a spare because you arnt going to find on on the trail, or anywhere near the trail. It is an uncommon beearing and needs to be machined to work.
Cost was $42.00 from JB.

Glad you got some. If they don't have Fafnir numbers on them, see if you can get them to tell you what they are.
The difference between press fit and slip fit is so small, a couple of minutes with a Dremal tool with a little flappy abrasive on it would be all the machining it needs.
