Hello from Sidney, B.C. James!
Here there are few original parts available, however quite a few years ago, I was lucky to meet an older Model T enthusiast from Nanaimo who had a large collection of parts.
I was able to purchase some original roller bearings for the rear end that I was re-building at the time.
I checked them with my micrometer and they were still well within limits.
There seems to be fewer and fewer original parts available, so hearing about the end of a major part supplier hurts a lot.

Regards,

Steve
