Scrabble in reply to @gbj_tester

Thanks, massive help. Do I still need the right size bearings though? Or can I just cram more small ones in?

Yes, that's absolutely critical. The curvature of the cup and cone races is cut to match only one size of bearing ball. If you use the wrong (too small) size, the contact pressure will destroy the races in no time at all.
