The questionable longevity of the part that Mat played with could be for all sorts of reasons, including rubbish materials being used in the manufacture as is now the case very often.

I would say that the SNR bearing in original format is still available, I bought two fairly recently

These are the original production standard part, and not some Micky Mouse effort made by the Guang Dong Bearing, Lawn mower, and Dangerous Toy Company.
So if the OP wishes to fit a component in every way as good quality as fitted on the production line, let's just say a perfect facsimile, then the link is there to the supplier I used to obtain mine
