Rear Wheel Bearings

Hi all,
I'm looking to replace the rear wheel bearings on my car. The current ones are 62mm outer diameter, 30mm inner diameter, 21mm width both inner and outer race. Axle seems to be timkin type english axle, depth of bearing seat 17.7mm. I've already ordered and received a first line FBK 022 kit but unlike the seller said, the outer width is 22mm and the width of the inner race is 24mm. Any suggestions on model, part number or better yet a supplier?
Thanks, Graham.

This place knows their bearings;-

I've used them several times for gearboxes and axles.

Might be of interest to you..

This the wrong bearing .. the seal is on the outside of the bearing..

This is the right one - seal is proud of the bearing face to keep the oil in ...

I've settled on SKF VKBA 960 Bearings for our English Axle. Have used a couple of others, but they either failed or started leaking.
We did use a little bit of Loctite 603 to aid the fixation of the outer race.

Johnemms, that looks like the correct bearing that matches the ones already on the car. Do you have a part number or supplier I can use? The SKF bearing looks to be the same set up as the firstline bearing I already have, which won't fit due to the inner race being wider than the outer one.
