I just rebuilt my original rear uprights for the 3rd time in 51 years because of a stub shaft failure. One of the large bearings was not made anymore. I believe it was the inner but might be the outer, NOS replacements were $500 each and not many around. I chose to use bearings that were new in 1997 because they still looked good. Not aware of many XKE parts on original cars but maybe some bearings are. Front bearings are still available but the grease seal is a little tough, Mike M. has seals and D washers for the front spindle and can get bearings.
