This product used to exist from AM, but it required such a thin inner race at the points that the bearings would fail catastrophically at relatively low loads.

FWIW, I would love to see FR6's with a 3/8 Hex bore make a come back, I've used them in 2013, 2014 and 2016 without issue. (Bought stock when they were discontinued) From what I've seen, they can be used in Auxilary mechanism, specifically high reduction gear boxes and intake type gearboxes without issue.
