Thanks for the input SF. I appreciate your perspective, and I may end up going that route in the end. To start, I am going to see what sort of state the inside of the tube looks like when I cut into it, and go from there. If the metal looks clean in the top half of the stay, I'm going to take a chance - as much to see if I can do it as anything.
Cheers,
