The top is held at the correct width by a spanner that goes across the two beams. You can see this in pictures of our robot--it's the piece the pulley/flag holder/spring mounts to. The bearings then mount as you see here, top and bottom.

The inside is a rectangle made of channel on the left and right sides, and 1"x2" on the tops and bottoms. it rides inside the bearings, as shown.

I think this is a "Picture paints a thousand words" situation.
