Hope BB bearing size

I have a stainless steel Hope BB that I think the bearings are on their way out. I was looking at ordering some ceramic replacement ones from CRC but they're out of stock. Anyone know if these are some standard size that I could order elsewhere. I can't seem to find a definite sizing on these.

Thanks

Save your money on the ceramics and just get the Enduro 61805 SRS ABEC 5 bearings and be done with it. They are $14 each as opposed to $30 for just one ceramic. And there is no benefit by going to a ceramic over a high quality steel bearing, unless your using it for isolation in an electric motor.

The ceramics still use a steel race which can still corrode and then eat away at the ceramic bearing. You'd only be wasting money.
