The tube are interchangable from the non adjustable to the adjustable
all you need to do is shorten the tube and the solder it in place.
Then to assure that is is sealed put a little silicone around the
joint prior to painting. The tubes also can usually be straightened
by putting the box in a vice and with an assistant heating the tube
where the bend is and then bending back to straight.
