You may need to cross reference the parts to find drawings of bearings to fit the original style uprights. If you can find one of the early Cobra manuals, they have almost all of the original part numbers in them. You could then cross reference the part numbers. Most of the original parts were 63 Jag XKE parts and pieces, but some were other makes. If you have the dimensions of the parts you may be able to get some help from some of the other suppliers available. Most of them are pretty helpful, especially if they can make a sale out of helping out.

Also, I've found that once you have a part number or bearing number or source, Rock Auto has the best inventory of older bearings and other parts and their prices can't be beat. I found all the bearings for my Kirkham differential pinion shafts and the Jag stub axles there in no time.
