In that case, I'll try to fill in the blanks for you: Bill Ryan of Casper (who were involved in aircraft components) came out of nowhere in late 2011, claiming to have a "low cost alternative to the over priced LN ceramic bearing" (the Casper kit sold for around $325). They cobbled together a kit using an off the shelf ceramic bearing, a center bolt either from Pelican or reuse your own (was never really clear on this), a plugged shaft, and which used the OEM flange from your original bearing. They sold a couple of kits off fleabay, which apparently did not fare very well, and they folded their tent in the IMS retrofit market in early 2012. End of story.........
