Replacement options for slipper clutch thrust bearing

While servicing my V1 slipper clutch the thrust bearing which sits between lock nut and spring lost its bearings. I can’t find the original part for sale anywhere (asc 6586) or the replacement (6594) and I’m wondering if there are any suitable work around options. I’m wondering if using a thrust bearing washer from a diff assembly might work comparable. Thoughts?

The Schumacher Thrust bearing for RERE cat xls (part U7216) diff will almost definitely work. amain is back ordered but they have the measurements on there: 1/8 x 5/16 x 9/64".

Thx! Just placed an order so at least I’ll have it back up and running while I try to piece together a V2z

I have a spare 6594 set in front of me. The bronze bushing matches those measurements.

Bringing an old thread back up, and thought I'd throw out a couple options I'd found.
1st. Fast Eddy 3X8X3.5 (F3-8M) bearing. Luckily I ordered two sets to try, because only one outer race from each fit. I tried drilling the race but they are hardened. (These were cheap and I needed to spend a few more dollars to get free shipping).
2nd. I also picked up a bushing for a Dutatrax Evader (9305). It was easy to open up to 1/8" id. After reaming it, it fits identical to the AE 6594.
