I need to do this as well to a Gen 1 KT hull.
What were your bearings used on the running gear?
For the axle shaft assemblies, is the flanged bearing on the inside and with flanged side towards the hull?

Hello Jarlath
I had found these bearings on Ebay (china) but dating from 2015, the link in my possession is no longer valid, sorry. I will try to find it differently.
