Spitfire/Herald (and Triumph 10) outer rear wheel bearing

I was asked: "I was doing so well with the TR10 until the left rear wheel  
bearing went last week. out. Know where I can get one?" Looking it up, I  
determined that, assuming this is the outer hub bearing, it is the  same as the 
outer bearing used on all Spitfires and Heralds. Triumph's part  number is 
104585, 
or Moss Motors part number  525-080.
 
At quick glance of  online vendors, Moss seems to be about the only vendor 
who sells the outer  bearing separately; the others only seem to list it as 
part 
of a complete kit  that also includes an inner bearing that is not used on 
the live-axle  Triumph 10.
 
Does anyone know of  other vendors (no offense to Moss intended!) that carry 
just the one bearing?  (Yes, I did also suggest taking the old bearing to a 
bearing supply company  for possible matching or cross-referencing.)
 
Thanks!

Triumph Herald engine with  wings.
