Very clever using a pipe for the radius.
Use what you got.

Nice work. I've got a tailgate that was cut down to fit a 46 or earlier bed, and the top roll has a piece of pipe still in it. Using it to repair the roll was a good solution.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Does the pipe rattle around in there when you open the gate?

I was asking about Kevin's. He said it was still in the gate.

The tailgate is standing next to the wall in my garage. But I don't think the pipe rattles around inside.
