Thank you all for your suggestions. I spoke to guy this evening and he also suggested the adding a rubber line to the end of the tubing and sealing it off. This is the route I will take. I can't stick a pencil in the end of it, currently it has metal tubing, not soft.
Thanks again, as usual, great recommendations, I need all of you closer to learn more from you all.
I will let you guys know how it turns out.
