The ones Austin used on all but a few late cars are narrower on the outside race than the "off the peg" AC bearings. If you have the standard width bearings, as well as that gap, the pinion mesh will be different by the difference in the width of one of the bearings.
The ones that Seven Workshop (and others) sell are ground down to the correct width.

Hi Stuart, The bearings came from our Club supplier here in Queensland. I think I'll pop the bearings back out for measure. Thanks for the advice.

Hi Steve, the specially machined pair with narrow outer rings are held in the Melbourne Club Spares as Part Number 0394a - sold only as a pair.
Tony.
