Does anyone know of a source for two-way roller bearings. Gotta have direct drive. I think it would be intresting to see if there is a place out there would be able to fit one into the present day Shimano Bantams such as the Curado, Citica etc.

I also wonder how much the price would be...

Sure would beat tracking down 201's on Ebay and paying upwards of $200 for em. Ive got a couple 201's and a couple 251's and there is just no comparision...the 201's are such a superior reel.
