I could entirely be wrong (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) this is just the first I've heard of the 411 being the same bearings...

I ended up converting that 914 to BMW calipers, then later when I got this car, Eric came along and I bought his amazing rebuilds on all 4 corners. I also picked up a BOX of 914 bearings (73+) on an ebay auction... 6 pairs of each inner/outer...
