U can get em locally at your cbc bearing shop.
I'll get mine and give u the bearing no.

Carmikey do you still have that bearing number?
I searched for the ebay item number 161943392633 but it did not come up.
 
Had also read Delta V stopped selling their shifter cable kits.

I got a polyurethane set from UK, but don't appear to have details on this computer.
Will look at home tonight.

Update:
 
Currently installed: CRW spherical kit
GEBK8S bearing
BRD poly bush kit
 
CRW kit needs to be packed out with a bunch of washes that are not included in the kit, for the money you pay for a 'custom' item, the washers should fit perfect/or extras included with varying thickness. If you do not pack it with washes, I believe it causes shifter shake in 3rd gear on let off (higher rpm). I have already replaced one spherical bearing due to wear on the bearing (I daily drive my car approx 10-15k km a year). With that said - shifting feels nice and smooth in all gears.
 
GEBK8S bearing - maybe I got a duds with my eBay purchase but my bearings arrived with play. Never installed them due to poor quality. They could wear out a lot quicker than the CRW kit due to the brass sleeve.
 
BRD poly bush kit (UK), very well made poly bush kit, perfect fit and included all the hardware. I was hoping for a softer poly but it was very hard. In my opinion It made shifting from neutral to 1st gear very stiff due to the bush not flexing to the cable angle. I found the shifting from 1st to 2nd stiff. I liked how the bush felt from 3rd to 4th and 5th to reverse. I drove for about 2 weeks on this kit and swapped back to spherical. I did not get 3rd gear shifter shake on lift off using this kit, possibly due to a perfect fitting bush?
 
I would like to try a softer poly or softer poly/rubber and brass insert combo to replicate how it was from factory.
 
Just my thoughts.

I tried the GEBK8S bearings. Did a run Brisbane to Wakefied Park two track days and back to Brissy, bearings were worn out and I had back off gear lever rattle in 3rd from the start. I had some softer poly bushes made up off the black poly ones as I believed they were too hard. Softer poly I find is much easier shifting and no back off gear shake. Going to have a look at them today or tomorrow to see how the wear is. Probably done less than 2k since they went in.

Hi again,
Mine are the BRDs & as Lumix has said, they are quite rigid.

Had mine made by Elastomers Queensland, from memory $50 for 2.

I will drop by their shop on my lunch break and get them to make me up a set in the softer poly to try out.

Better to get it sorted before you head to Wakefiel Park.
