Default Re: “Inside” part of road draft tube

There is a website called "OnlineMetals.com" that sells small quantities of metal products for reasonable prices. You may be able to find what you need (1 15/16" steel tubing?) there. I would also suggest trying to find a steel "Freeze Plug" the proper size to cap the tube off. There is a site called "FreezePlugFactory.com" that will probably have what you need, but unfortunately they are not "small quantity friendly". You might also try your FLAPS or maybe Dorman.

EDIT : It looks like 1 5/16" is not a standard tubing size. Your best bet is to find an original. I am sure someone on here has some laying around. I probably do, but it would probably take me days to find it. A "cup" freeze plug is probably still a good idea to cap it off.
