Hi All,
Anji,
If all else is ok with the bearing size then it maybe possible to hone the bearing bore to size ??

Richard
I was trusting Anji's measurements, as I posted earlier,  2 thou is too tight

PS,
Bearings are a sore subject this week
The spindle bearings on my milling machine had developed a little play, 0.0015in. or so
they of course are "specials", high precision angular contact type, matched as a pair
Trade price including tax just over €400 
Once ordered they took almost 10 days to arrive, I asked at the bearing shop about the special grease needed and was told they come pre packed
No they weren't so start looking for the Kluber NBU15, and then order that, so another wait until that arrives

Hi Anji, I've spun a used crankshaft main bearing o.d. in a lathe and applied emery cloth to the I.d. In order to make a easy to trial bearing to get the crankshaft end float correct, so I guess the same could be done with your gearbox bearing?  albeit you have a bit more metal to remove....., I did not have too much trouble with I.d spinning, surprisingly.

It's a surprise you have to fettle a standard bearing to get it to fit, but having to fettle parts in order to get them to fit is rather too common
