Shimano Stradic Line Roller Bearing

Hey guys, I need a new bearing for the line roller on my 2500 FI.
Is there a good option for ordering one on line? Cheers.

just go to your local remote control car hobby shop and they will match your bearing with a high quality high speed jap bearing....and grab some cheapo ones as emergency spares while your there like i do...

Thanks mate, are they stainless?
Is there a chain store of "hobby shops" that I should look for? I am not in a city so don't have a local hobby shop.

Do they measure your bearing and match it that way or by numbers on the bearing? Are all bearings a standard size that can be correctly matched? Is it possible to end up with one that is not quite the exact size, e.g. a few thou out?

Sorry for all the questions but I just want to be sure of what I am doing, thanks.

No tackle shop near me and don't want to drive an hour to order one through them, wait for a week or two and then have to drive an hour to collect it.

Just looking for speed and convenience. Thanks.
