These are interesting thoughts.  By bearing adaptors (note, I haven't been
inside one of these drums yet..I'm making some assumptions about how these
assemble:), essentially a machined part to press into where the outer race
of the bearings would normally go, with a flange and groove on the
adaptors ID for the smaller bearing outer race to press into, right?

Obviously custom, but should be pretty straight forward to do.  Any safety
concerns with doing this, assuming a good alloy and close tolerances?

..wish I had some machine shop connections 'round here.  Everyone I know
is back in Augusta GA.

Hmm.
