Worth sending a PM to 'the king of bling' on here as he has dealt with this issue on his narrow bodied Westfield
Getting the correct bearings was an issue iirc as there are plenty about that aren't really what they are supposed to be

assume you mean fit, it should do as the last ones i used where listed as rs2000 among others. i think all mk2 escort ones are the same anyway.
perksy thanks,
from searching i believe the Oring ones are the cheap crap ones which is why i was looking at the one above. the originals ones had no Orings.

A good smear with Hermmatite or Hylomar is all that was traditionally used.

Late RS2000 MK2 used the german koln axle (like mk4 cortina) not the english axle that was in most escorts.
I've never had an O ring for 'english' rear bearings and never had any trouble.
Never under estimate the ingenuity of an idiot!

We had the same problem with the dodgy, leaky, chinese "O-ring" bearings.
I bought a single SKF bearing from these chaps "vintage bearing company, 01283 509562 or 07939 005739" the part number you are after is
411546.
Not cheap (£30-odd each), but cheaper to buy a decent one once, rather than cheap ones repeatedly 
No leaks here over a year later.
