Don't know - I have 6 beams left and this was one I got in a lot job
Beam was lasted and primed - bump stops cut off and holes welded
A junk one that is...

I cut a front beam open for future reference
It's just a tube inside supported by some brackets

| Well yes one of my customer is a machineering company with all the cnc machines you can imagine. So that idea with to design a sleeve is a quite good idea i think. I have to study what the alternative can be.... |

I have also thought of the idea to get some standard bearings and just make it work with some shim or what you call it.... Time will show. |
If you know a good machinist with a lathe, I'm sure they could design a sleeve. I just noticed you're in Norway, not USA, so Viande probably wouldn't be practical to use anyways.

The outer diameter is oversized - you need to ream the beam itself
Only when the bearing falls out I guess
You need OE sizes

These bottom ones are OE size - not oversized (which you can't install unless you have the appropriate Matra tool)
I have 18 NOS ones of those...
I have the OE size of the lower '62 only ones too if someone needs them

the lower bearings come up for sale occasionally. Just bought a set from Australia. Granted, the were made in Brazil by FAG, but they look good. As for the upper bearings - about as easy to find as front gravel guards.  I know of two NOS sets - one on this side of the Atlantic, and a set on the other side.

Oh, the NLA needle bearings! It still seems like Bearings Inc. could sell you the appropriate needle bearings! I've got complete good 67 & 72 beams in the barn For Sale. PM me.
P.S. I just shipped the 67 transaxle to Japan.
