OK sounds good . Bronze isn't cheap . You could try making a new filler tube from aluminium as a 'test run', doing this will also check your set up in the lathe. Then if the alu one fits OK , go for it with the bronze . I'm always nervous when machining a piece of expensive metal , one slip up and its junk
