John,

Many you can say that again!!!

 >is there anywhere you can find dimensional information like this...

Don't know of any on-line, but do you have a bearing shop in your town?

I know for bearings and seals, and I'm guessing (haven't tried it) I 
go to a local
bearing shop.  They mic the part, then crossreference it from either their
computer or by looking it up in paper catalogues.
