Default Window roller size

So I am currently working on getting my driver side window roller guide sorted out but, I lost the roller some time ago. It's the one for the vertical track that attaches to the window that causes everyone so many issues. I've got a temp fix for now but looking into more permanent just need to know what size or diameter rollers people use since I lost my factory one. Also what are people using to imitate a roller? The help section at parts store isn't exactly the correct size. Any help would be appreciated!

The best thing is to get a new piece that rivets to the bottom of the window glass. It will include that roller. Here are two other threads that will help you out:

Well I've finally got it fixed following FirstYrLS1Z 's fix in
https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...dow-guide.html

Found a real nice mom and pop shop here that had everything I needed to finally fix this issue...All grade 8 hardware so don't expect it to be breaking anytime soon I hope... Works great just a little noisier with the oversized metal washer but nothing that's bothersome.. thanks for the links wssix99!
