: John,

: Don't cut the sleeves yet, have an idea but I'm gonna have to be more awake

: Bill H.

I've got one sleeve to fit without cutting it off so far. I took a small steel pipe and ground the inside end sharp and was able to cut out the excess epoxy. The next tube is cleaned out but it's not sliding in without binding. Didn't make since. I checked the insert tube and found it is out of round by .004 thousands. I'll have to file this round then polish it.
