Chris, Koni offers sleeves that should work.  They offer 50mm ID sleeves
and 42mm ID sleeves.  If you cannot find them locally, I can give you some
links.  The Koni stuff appears to be decent enough quality.

Let me know if you need more info.  You can download the Koni motorsports
catalog on their site in pdf format.
