On the off chance someone has gone through this before... anyone got any ideas where I might find one of these bearings?

Its the bearing for the engine fan fitted to J20A Vits and Grand Vits. Written on the side of it is "NSK Japan 30BD219DULX".

None of the four local bearing places I called today (statewide, awb, skf, bsc) could help. Three of them had no record of it existing, and statewide said the last time they got one was over years ago. Some of them could get me a variant (other random letters apart from DULX on the end), but couldnt tell me how it differed from the original.

Furthermore, there is sweet bugger all info on google about said bearing. This thread was pretty much the only english result:
http://www.suzuki-forums.com/1g-1999-20 ... -guys.html

In that post he lists that it has been replaced by 30BG04S8G2DS. As it turns out there is even less information about this one. Again none of the local places could help with this part # either.

I've sent a few emails off to some of the bigger Aus bearing suppliers (Comcen, NSK Aust etc) so will hopefully get some replies tomorrow.

If anyone has gone through this before though or has suggestions on where to try I'm all ears.

I can get a replacement fan bracket/bearing from Suzuki, but at over $200 I sure as hell dont want to do this unless there is zero chance of locating a replacement bearing for my current one.
