Yes, I do. And although I lack the imagination and time to act on it, I would enjoy the opportunity to male you my package.
The ID (at the face) of the outer race of the SIB-10T bearing is about ~.974", so a 1.25OD .12 wall steel tube will press the bearing into the sleeve without touching the ball.

I have finally got around to installing the kit. So today I went looking for the rubber seals. The bearing place couldn't help, and the closest of their suggestions was the foam and rubber stuff shop. After a couple of minutes, I found this:

Rubber seal - draft excluder!
It looks as though it will work, it is very soft. The fiscal impact was manageable, at $7 for a metre. As I am still waiting on the rest of the suspension bushes to arrive it will be a little while before I have the 'after' pictures and an update on fitment.

Hmm, so that is what is in the rest of the box ... and I thought it was just packing to stop the sleeves rattling around ... oops!
Well the upside is, I haven't thrown the box out.
Anyone want to buy a metre of weather stripping, one careful owner, never raced or rallyed?
