thanks for the tip 
Full story is these bearings in the pic are from another headset (chorus 9 speed groupset), but are to be the same size. So problem is I have 2 headsets and only one set of bearings ....
I've been googl'ing for ball bearing online shops but could'nt find these specific ones. Maybe anyone had the same issue in the past and can help
Thanks!

Other than Campagnolo and others of the same ilk, I've never seen 3/16 cages with anything more than 15 bearings. I'd buy some decent grade loose bearings - they'll be better quality than what are in cheap cages and work out a lot cheaper than fitting Campag cages. As mentioned, there'll be more bearings in there than what there are in cages.

Right. That's what I discover now
Thanks guys. Either I get a cheap headset just for the bearings or use loose balls (something I didn't think about , great tip!)
