Default Bearings for strut brace

Anyone have any part numbers of a bearing that would be suitable for use in making a strut brace between the crank and blower ?

Cheers, Stevie

Do a search under PSJ and you will see pictures of the one he used and the people that made it just a suggestion. What bracket are you using for the YSI?

Ive seen plenty of pictures. I'd just like to know what bearings they used. I should be able to make a strut up myself using various parts. I could just buy a brace, but I want to keep it as slim as possible for clearance reasons. I'm already having to get a new thinner rad made, and move it further forward to add clearance.

Ive removed the bearings from my idler pulley, and although a little small/thin, I'd guess they could probably work ?
It measures about 1 5/8" OD by 1/2" thick. Centre bore is about 3/4"
NTN 6023LH
My car isnt a US vehicle, my YSI bracket is intended for an 04 GTO, or Holden vehicle.
Can be seen here during fitting, although Ive since had a new one re-cut to move the blower a little further away from the engine.
