I can't gaurentee the proper fit of a Boca or TKO but here is a Boca link, looks like their ceramics are about $45 for the good one. In the past a couple guys tried to use the TKO but the fit wasn't correct on the OD. The deminsions are 14x25x6.

Not sure if the bearing you get is the one pictured, but the Reedy bearing is made up of many more ceramic balls of a smaller size, and the Boca appears to be fewer and larger balls. The Reedy bearing is unique, and I'm sure this was engineered this way for a reason.
Thanks Brandon
