Bill,
My records show that my series 1 was supplied by Ultraflight with a
pair of 1" X .058" X 56.25" long, 6061-T6 T10 tubes. BTW, 0.062" (edited) is
not a standard wall tubing thickness for 1" aluminum tubing, it would
be .065". Airparts in Kansas City and (my favorite) The Dillsburg
Aeroplane Works, 114 Sawmill Rd. Dillsburg, PA 17019 717-432-4589
should have it in stock too.
Also, those wall thicknesses are nominal, and can and do vary
somewhat. As the dies used in the manufacturing of the tubing wear,
the wall gets thicker. If you can actually go to a supplier and take
your plugs along, they might let you rummage through their stock and
find the best fitting tubing.
