If you get 2 sizes of tubing, you can effectively make lugs(sleeve one into the other) for dirt cheap. The sleeves tubing can be cut and the flow of brass/silver can then be inspected to improve full fill.
1.25" tubing that has .058 walls and 1.125" tubing that has .035 walls.
The .058 tubing is about as thick as a lug and the .035 tubing is basically the thickness of typical 8/5/8 tubing.
