I quite agree that ball bearings are not suitable but angular contact bearings require accurate setup. That's why I'm going for cylindrical roller bearings and leaving management of the thrust to Henry's solution in the middel of the diff. I think they will handle a bit of end play in the axles just like the original bearings did.
Today, I took the hubs etc apart and found I can squeeze 3 of the bearings in there - so I will. That gives me even greater confidence this will work.
