1302 steering box bearings

Hopefully this helps someone at some point in the future.
I have spent the last four weeks trying to rebuild my 1302 steering box without success due to the lack of replacement bearings.
Trust me, I went to every bearing supplier I could find.
As I have a RHD car, I dont have the luxury of buying a new box for $500.
Today I found someone who opened up an old steering box from a 1969 Ford Mustang to check the bearings and amazingly they are a direct replacement.
I now have bearings which I can use.
Refresh: 1969 Ford Mustang steering box input shaft bearings fit the 1302 steering box input shaft.
