Have one made by a machinist.

Look at metric sizes, or have the flywheel opened up to the next standard dimension. Then there is always J-B Weld!

You could have the flywheel turned out and a sleeve pressed in.

Here's what you can do, measure the bore then measure the bearing OD and divide by 2, cut a piece of steel shim stock, check to see it's the right length and width, jb weld the shim stock in the bore, tap the bearing in. Some of you may be shocked by this, but I've done this and it works.
carry on

Flywheels are dime a dozen get another one why try to fix scrap iron?

Hey, with that attitude the Model A would be extinct! Fix the part or use it for at least shop art.
