The single bearing V-wheels - were they included in the kit in the end? And if not, have the dual bearing ones been tested as a replacement? I only ordered six from Inventables, so I'm worried I'll have to do another order which with shipping to Australia is going to be pricey...
They aren't included - mine arrived. I'm going to use double-bearing wheels. If that results in the lens carriage being too high, I'll mount the spacers and eccentric nuts on the opposite side (top) of the plate and then use some shims on the bottom. I don't see a problem.
And here is a quote from someone on page 3 of this thread, explaining why he thinks double-bearing v wheels will be okay:

I think the lens carriage could stand to be a little bit taller. I had to shim mine up about 2-3 mm to get the beam in the center of the hole. I assume the makerslide V rails sit a little bit lower than the old glue on style.
