Pete- I'm thinking you might be best off going to a bearing supply house that could let you select from a variety of different bearings.

Alternatively, you could try to go down the automotive supplier route, but it might be a bit of the "tail wagging the dog" scenario. But here's one I'm familair with that might fit the requirement. It's a Fiat timing belt bearing, p/n 4178014. It's a very good quality double-row bearing - I've actually used it for other than it's intended purposes and it's worked flawlessly. Here's a link to exploded diagram, so you'll see it's the type of "stand-alone" bearing that I think you're looking for...

Nope, that was the only one I knew of off-hand that fit what I thought you were looking for. It's got a reasonably large center hole, so it should be adaptable to a lot of applications by making a custom bushing to fit your application. Off the top of my head, I'd say the O.D. is around 2". If you want to take a shot, this guy usually has them on hand for a very reasonable ~$30 or so.
