The tubing size is close to 1.25" but the wall thickness was a bit goofy in spots with some burn through in the joint. AJ wanted to do the splice where it could be reinforced and keep it stronger than the existing area. Installed some slugs and used 1-1/4 tubing...
Slugs were 3/16" wall, welded the seam and plug welds of course. It's very handy how these stand up on end to work on.
