I've read the descriptions of ''CF TUBE within CF SLEEVE'', and I don't think that's exactly right. I am not saying the sleeve is made of CF...look at the detail picture of Kevin's sleeve above, or the PDF or the article which has a couple pictures of the sleeve. All I can say is that it's the same general color as the CF tube, (although it had a slightly different consistancy, (look/feel) to it. You could tell when cutting it that the material was not exactly the same. Based on what you are reporting, get the phenolic sleeve...that seems closest, (and may be exactly) what we have.
The tube is 1'', and the sleeve is a very close fit.

I'm not sure what ''phenolic'' means
Duane,
I may have misunderstood an earlier description and thought that both tubes were CF. If the sleeve you used was different than the tube, then it may very well have been a phenolic type. (According to the descriptions I found, the sleeve is made of paper or glass cloth impregnated with a type of resin made of phenol and an aldehyde and subjected to high temperature and pressure.)
Thank you,
Richard
