any gearbox reconditioners will be able to get you bearings, you just need to get part numbers off the ones you have fitted so they can be ordered. It'd be worth seeing if any of the ones you need are avaliable in an uprated form, e.g steel caged or extra ball bearings for extra load bearing

depends on what box you have tbh and what mods you're planning on doing to the engine etc, the classic boxes are as strong as chocolate, therefore uprating the bearings is a good thing, the uprated are a lot stronger and not much more expensive than standard bearings.
