[T3] Inner lower bushing dimensions?

I've not done work on my front beam, but the info you want is in the manuals
I have.

The factory manual says " The plastic sleeves are not wearing parts and
remain in axle beam".  Bentley says if the plastic sleeves are damaged, a
new beam is needed.

If yours have been cooked, I'm not sure what can be done for the upper tube.
There are no bushes or plastic sleeves in the lower tube.
The lower bores are 50mm OD, or 50.2mm oversize. 

Bentley shows the details.

Could be.

In 2016 I had upper inner bushings made from oil-impregnated bronze and
still have some material left. The guy that made them is going to make me
some for the lower beam.
