Hello folks,
These past few weeks Ive been trying to complete my first kit, The Sig Somethin' Extra. Its been a super easy kit to put together but...
Well I made the mistake of not reading the manual and started to cut the female wing tube with out first removing the aluminum tube that was inserted in it
I cut thru maybe 1/4 thru when I noticed the metal shavings. I would rather replace this tube since the cut is right on the wing/fuse joint and may pose a structural issue.
I have been looking at my LHS and hardware shops but could not find a similar 7/8 in. dia aluminum tube. Can this tube be ordered separately?
I have been able to locate a 7/8 in. wooden dowel to fit, will this be an adequate replacement?

I would appreciate any ideas or info on replacing this tube

thx
