 When I get a chance I'll get the numbers off the bearings. A totally sealed bearing would work just fine. I don't believe that lubrication is necessary, and it can potentially lead to contamination. I had totally sealed bearings on my Lotus. However, it would need to be able to handle the axial load.

New bearings would likely not have the groove for the o-ring. Delta told me their bearings don't, and said they needed to be bedded in silastic instead. Grooves could probably be machined, but the outer race would need to be thick enough.

I'll try to get the numbers. Once I've gotten one removed, I could get the dimensions as well.
