I wasn't worried about stiffness.
It is the telescoping to the 1/8" rod. the 0.049, it was pretty tough to
get a good grip to lock the rod in place too much slop.

That's where I have been buying aluminum tubing. They don't have 0.058"

You don't get a whole lot of extra stiffness by going from a .049 to
.058 inch wall thickness in tubing this small.
