Well The torque tube is actually a tube with a drive shaft in it with no U joints. I cut the tube into 2 pieces in my big band saw then I chucked each end up in the lathe to cut the welded tube out of the ends. then i went to my steel supply house and ordered 8 ft of 5" 3/13 wall aluminum which is the same size as the old tube. Then I will mock up the pieces in the car to get a true length then bolt everything in the car and square the pieces and slowly weld the ends to the tube. Then I will send out the driveshaft to be lengthened.
