Rear caliper bearings

Question

So I'm getting my calipers refurbished by a local chap who normally does Jag brakes. He's hit a bit of a brick wall with the rears, as it seems that whoever reconditioned them last used some sort of plastic sleeve instead of the needle bearings for the handbrake mechanism, which has now disintegrated (probably due to the heat of a siezed handbrake.....). 

 

Now, honda don't seem to sell (or even list a part number) for the needle roller bearings, and trawling through the Internet seems to confirm this. 

 

What I'm trying to find out is what is used when calipers are remanufactured - any chance that anyone knows? 

 

I've seen on a forum in America that someone found a brass sleeve in their remanufactured ones for a teg. 

 

Obviously why they don't tend to last as long as the original ones.

Im doing mine at the moment lol 

could you not use a piece of brass plate and bend it around the pin to shape it. It’s not a proper fix but will last alot longer than plastic mate

Positive sign is I've just came across a thread via a picture on Google pics, which references the same sizes for brake calipers on a Nissan 300z

Yeah, problem is that I don't have the calipers at the moment, and the bearings had been removed in the past.

I've gave it a shot in the spirit of discovery, so will see if they're right... Fingers crossed.
