Default Front strut tower bearing out! Help please

Hi all,
I purchased a H&R street kit for my 97 993 C2 cabrio, took the old front struts out and noticed that the bearings on the top towers didn't move freely.
I pressed them out and I figured no big deal, I've done this before on other cars, check out Pelican and order new ones.
They don't offer it, only the complete assembly, which is not in bad shape at all. Then I went through probably 100 threads in the forum but came up empty. Does anybody here know a source on how to get them ?
Thank you for your support,
Ed

Pulled the same stunt, as the pic indicates: I had planned to see if an industrial bearing supplier could match the bearing number - but I had ( have?) several spares around, so didn't follow through. perhaps web search or call a bearing vendor with the inscribed numbers shown.

Hi Garth,
Mine looked even worse. I could at least read the bearing number. I'll start calling around then Monday morning. Thank your for your reply.
