Hey LMTSS,
Can you tell me what the outside diameter of the two pieces of tube you used are?…
I guess he’s not coming back. If it helps, I’m planning on building my own and have taken measurements. I am going to order 6061 aluminum tubes measuring 1″OD and 1″ID x 1.25:OD to make it match the frame size. Maybe later spot weld or adhere matching dovetail rails for extra credit.
Theoretically since the OD of one is the same size as the ID of the other it should sleeve together perfectly, hopefully requiring a little heating/cooling to expand/contract them and then press together.
