If you cannot find a shop in your area capable of putting a rib (ring) around each end of the tube about 1/4" from the ends, you can have a welder put 3 or 4 "dots" of weld material around the perimeter. OR form a circular ring the diameter of the outer tube from 1/16" welding rod and solder it in place, thereby creating a ring. any of these will work.
