It's a 914 ...

#8 nosecone bearing sources - matters?

After cleaning up the nosecone bearing for my rebuild, I'm noticing a few nicks and scratches on the ID that I can catch a nail on. Although it measures within spec with a bore gauge, probably safer to replace. Do we need to be careful about the source of the #8 bearing like we do for other bearings, i.e. quality issues with Glyco bearings from certain sources?

I see Rausch & Spiegel sells a #8 bearing. Is that a quality part?

I've used those and the cheaper OEM ones and never had an issue.
