Finally did it! I essentially needed a thick tall cylinder to act as a spacer.... being a cheap skate I found a John Deere tractor bushing for seven bucks. Turns out I can't drill through it...being hardened steel and all... so I had to
1) hammer a thinner tube into the bottom of the 3/4 ID pvc pipe. (7/8 OD) The tractor bushing was only clear halfway down. After that it reduced to a star shape, I can only assume for a gear and super glued that in. That was just for security, had to pound that sucker in.
2) JB Weld the bushing into the saber. Canons are 1-3/8 inside and again...my drill bits bounced right off that tractor part! No set screws here...
3) apply two long strips of Reflexite - the infamous retro reflective tape; no surface prep needed.
Find a thumbscrew for this heavy cast shroud. If anyone remembers I got this from adamata cracked and neither of us know where it came from.
IT WORKED, even without a cap on the tip of the PVC pipe. The JB weld is holding for now, doesn't feel like it's going anywhere soon
