Default 1971 175 F7 steering ball bearings

I'm restoring my 4th bike, (this one belonged to my wife's late uncle) Does anyone know the size and number of ball bearings for the steering race? They are individuals and I cannot find anyone who know this info.

Thanks,

Steve

Welcome to KF.
I was looking through my 1966-72 manual and could not see where the bearing sizes were listed either. Unfortuneatly you are missing all of the bearings to measure I take it. good luck with the search and I will browse my other 2 smoke manuals as well.
