Thanks for any help!
I found a brass tude at my local hobby shop. the outter diameter of the tube is 7/16 inch. the diameter of the delrin outdrive is 10mm. it fits with a tiny bit of slop, which is what i want. I suggest that you bring a spare outdrive to you local hobby shop and test fit them. the thickness of the tube might be different.
i use a copper tube cutter from a local hardware store. cut the tube like it's tou fu.
cut 10mm to 11mm in length. round out the edge with a dremel and u r set.
