"Does Carl have balsa centering rings available, Stefan?"

Nope. Semroc doesn't have rings for the larger tubes they sell. "Yet," I presume.

When I cloned a Hustler (and Aero-Dart, and Explorer) I had BMS make up rings for me. Each ring is actually three 1/4" balsa rings glued together. I patterened them after the rings in an original Centuri T-225 motor mount.

Per hints from the catalog, the original Hustler had two rings just wide enough for a motor, and a "stop" which was probably a centering ring - like structure with a smaller central hole. No motor tube.
