Default Wenzler Series II shaft rocker question

I purchased a used set of Wenzler heads with the shaft rockers awhile back. I believe the guy I got them from got them from KGTO at one point. I lost the bearings in an exhaust rocker and cant seem to figure out who built the system. Called Jesel and T&D and no luck. No numbers or markings on the rockers. They do have a set screw in the middle that goes thru and spaces the bearings apart. Can anyone shed some light on this setup? Thx!

Larry said he only used T&D so that's no luck. Maybe KRE will shed some light on it.

Is there a number on any of the others? I think on my stud mount rockers you can read a bearing number in them.

If it is just the roller bearing you need they should be availbe from Berry Bearing they can look them up from the dimensions. If the bearings slip out of the rocker body with little or no effort the rocker body needs work or replacement. (I'm guessing that's to only way you could loose the bearing).

Berry Bearing

Got lots of hard to find bearings not serviced from manufactures.
For instance
Mandrel bearings for Lawn Mower decks.
Last time bout a pair for bout $5 bucks each vs $40-$50 each for Mandrels.

The company started out down here in Boca Raton, hence the name.
