Default Clutch Release Fork Needle Bearing Dimensions?

If you've read my other posts, you'll know I'm in the middle of replacing the rear main seal on my '91 S2, and trying to do take care of those "while I'm in there" kinds of things. One of those things that is recommended is to replace the needle bearings in the clutch release arm/fork.

One of the ideas, which I like a great deal, is to replace the needle bearings with oil impregnated sintered bronze bushings. McMaster sells oil and oil/PTFE impregnated bushings and I really like the idea of going that route. Since I don't have things disassembled to that point, however, I was hoping that someone on here had the required dimensions available for OD and ID on the needle bearings. I'm hoping, of course, that McMaster just sells something that will fit.

As always, any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

Sweet. Now on to McMaster! Otherwise, I'll ask my machine shop colleagues to see if they can help me out.

EDIT: It looks like McMaster carries this as standard. For those that are interested, here is the link to the product page: https://www.mcmaster.com/6658k34
