I sell bearings for a living.
EDIT: With a bit of searching it seems a lot of Subaru throw out bearings have the same ID and running surface diameter. It may be possible to mod a WRX or even STi bearing to suit our set up. It will depend on the fork as those bearings seem to be wider.

I'm pretty sure the TOB is made in China. I know for sure the one that came with the Exedy OEM clutch kit is, which gave me some pause. I'll double check the failed stock TOB to be sure.
