The brass bushing are good and work well enough, but adding bearings just makes everything run more smoothly.

I can go to the manual of the tank to see how many bearings are included. I can't get the bag for the Centurion since it is new so no parts are available yet.
Are all bearings the same sizes?
Is it better to get them from Ebay? I would like to get from AAF (if the price is reasonable) and ask them to put the bag inside the tank box for me before they ship the tank out.
You mentioned before that we need 28. So I just want to get enough or more for future use. I don't want to get less :-)

UPDATE.
Installed the RichJohnson “L7 105mm” main gun. This is a machines aluminum barrel and much better looking then my “stop gap” hand build L7 barrel. Still needs to be painted and the IR bulb installed.
Here are a few photos. I also posted a short video of the barrel undergoing a basic function test on my Instagram @ Fsttanks

Some people have added their own wholes in the mantle for the IR because then wanted to retain both the main gun and machine gun flash.
