Oops..I meant 3/8 .059 WITHOUT an inner rod.

Rebuilding a M2 6M7JHV after losing the tower in a Texas windstorm.
One section of the boom will need to be replaced. Some of the elements
survived in reasonable shape and can be reused but a few of the
element halves will need to be replaced. M2's elements are 3/8"OD X
.049" wall tubes with a 1/4"OD X 10" solid rod inserted. The only
thing I have found is 3/8"OD X .058 wall 6063 tubes. Will the thicker
wall 3/8 OD elements be sufficient with inner rod? Comments and hints
welcome from anyone who has rebuilt a JHV.
