Axminster Bandsaw from before bluetooth and the iPod!!

I acquired an Axminster White AWBB bandsaw and have had to do some work on it to make it usable
3d-printed the throat plate, ordered new blade, emergency stop button and drive belt
But during set up, as it hasnt been well looked after, one of the bearing holder's(69) bolts (50) sheared the threaded hole.
Having spoken to the awesome people at Axminster, who admitted this hasnt been produced since 1998, they said this is no longer an item they provide (understandable)
Im prepared to weigh in and learn CAD to 3d print a new bearing holder, but it will be laboriously slow.
The manual/specification for the AWBB also matches that model number and two-speed setup, and spare-belt suppliers list it as **Axminster AWBB White/Hobby Series**
Anyone got any suggestions where else one could look for this block, or should I get TinkerCad out?
TIA
