OK, now I remember. There was another thread with Don where he actually made some lugged stems out of old kits. I asked him about why it took special tubing to do it and he basically said tolerances, if you didn't mind not having a piston-cylinder fit in the top nut you could do it with any tubing, though sourcing the lugs might be tough.
