21/32 is the size they are all supposed to be, i`ve not found any other sizes so far, but the race`s & cages differ in sizes for the reco ones, i`ve found 4x different sizes of those so far
beware :-)

sorted the problem the supplier got the balls mixed with metric and they ended up being 7th bigger than needed. they fitted my pot joint and went in with a slight bit of force but would not allow full movement without jamming. was lucky as on test run the shaft pulled out of cvjoint and started doing loops. ended up with a new pot joint today so all matches. one problem I got is that the hole in the sub frame is not big enough to allow inner pot joint to pass through so have to fit after shaft put through without joint on thanks for the help
