wheel bearing size information for a swap?

[chieflief]

I need the outer diameter, inner diameter, and width of the front wheel bearings for a 1996 Elise. If someone has them handy and is willing to pass them along, I'd appreciate it!

Also, are there any concerns that might arise from using non-tapered wheel bearings instead of the tapered OEMs? If not, will the non-tapereds last longer?

Taken from the info on a bearing I have here

Bearing Type Double row taper roller
Inner Diameter (mm) 38
Outer Diameter (mm) 68
Height (mm) 37

This might help, or confuse?

Thanks, guys. Had to stick with the tapers which I just ordered from Eliseparts. I guess that's my Christmas present to myself this year. Or maybe I should wrap them up for my nine year old daughter - although I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be impressed. Neither would my wife!
