To join the old and new tube, or just to repair?
I’d be surprised if The Metal Store don’t have the correct tube - they had decent thickness 1.5” square tube (that wasn’t the think junk used for table legs) when no one else did.

Never try and argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you based on experience.

Just put new tube inside - the holes in the picture are very strange, there’s really thick metal surrounding them - it’s not the usual silk lattice.

I have some of the correct (I believe) tube in stockAJL Electronics wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 8:14 pmI am advised that the tube isn't freely available and that I should cut up a scrap SE6 series propshaft.
Not sure where to go from here, my reputation and the owner's safety is at risk if I can't make a good job of it.
