You might try Garhauer. I'm expecting 6 new rollers for my Hood "siamese" stanchion blocks today.
I switched to the following and it works well for us.

From Garhauer. They don't show them. Email or call. I worked with guy named Mark.
Possibly but I have always asked for Guido. Garhauer has never let me down. The traveler car on my C30 Mk2 started binding up and I called and he set me up with a piece of track and a bag full a ball bearings. Now it is smooth as butter. I also asked about increasing the purchase and they suggested adding a second block to the car which increased the purchase from 3:1 to 4:1. much nicer.
Sorry, is Mark the new Guido. (A not very inside joke, Guido IS Garhauer and the guy could make anything out of a roll of tinfoil, cost effective, shiny, and operational).

Cool! They will. I don't know if it will make a difference, but I sprayed the pin and holes with McLube dry lubricant before I put then back together.
