Not that much detail in the old testament of sheldon RIP
Cones are cheap and mass produced, i had a tin full of them and used to pick and mix.
Maybe avoid the really cheap axle/cone/bearing kits as i bent 3 solid axles from them, i suspect the Halfords quality is not that high, just the price, would give one a go though if stuck.
Howards right though, good LBS would have a box full of the things and should sell loose ball bearings to suit.
Take your axle and cones to LBS. The Wheels manufacturing parts are nice and you get quality parts that are better made than the rest of the set up :)
