"just a collar/axle setup with grease in it" -is- a bearing. ...just not a ball, or roller bearing.
rfuerst911sc - Maybe you have some old rear wheel bearings out of the SC? --those would do the trick.
Also, don't forget wind loading. That is, if you go for 'light structure' it had better let wind pass thru.
