Fitting thick tubes because i already have a pigs head if i could fit the tubes my self i would save on buying a new casting

I've done a few and off the top of my head I used 64mm OD Cds (4mm wall?).
I got the tube from My local stock holder, although they had to order it in.

I would use the same tube as it was originally made with, you will need a jig
