Hello Les, I made my brace today and will also be doing something about the flexible 1.5" leg tube... I am going to turn some Tas Oak down to just a 'smidgin' bigger than the inner diameter of the lower leg section and then use a hydraulic press to push the timber inside the tubes...... a 20T press should make light of the job....
