There is the way of the propshaft will attache to the 3.500"ID X .180" wall thichness,i found a double side trust sealed ball bearing and Mark Williams have a 45mm deepgrooved double ball bearing but i can use their number to find the 50mmx90mmx32.1mm.

To use the carbon tubing i have to go with the 5"od x.250 wall alum tubing reinforced with 1/4" gusset.

On the flange attachement on back of the bearing housing have to be beeffy up more then 1/2" thichness
I will redesign in 3D after i finish to figure it out all dimensions.

I still in contact with Mark Veldhuis of PST inc.

That looks pretty good. Look into helicopter or thin section
bearings.
