Took a while, but I found one, and the bearings are on page 119. Amazon sent me B-1412-OH;PB;L125's which are 1.125" OD, when the x-ref should have pointed at a BH-1412-OH;PB;L125, which is the correct 1.1875" OD. Another 3 weeks to a month waiting on Amazon as I've started the email merry-go-round with them just now. Sigh...
