Mal are you sure the tube is stainless? it may be chrome plated copper tube soldered not welded into the cap. I bought a regular cap last year removed all the plastic stuff and the sealing gasket inside, drilled a hole in it and soldered in a chrome plated copper tube normally used as a toilet feed stem. when I was finished I cut the tube to length and bent it forward into the airflow. Of course I re installed the gasket.

On my Model IV the tube is steel, may be stainless but probably plated after welding along with the cap. And it is welded, I can remove and/or tighten the cap by torqueing the tube and see the weld bead. It is not soldered.

It would be very easy to use steel brake line and mig weld it into place. My slightly flared chrome plated copper tube soldered quite nicely into place and is quite rugged but I don't think I'll be reaming on it just to see if it can take the punishment. Steel can be soldered brazed or welded into place as it's not a structural part I expect it's well within the capability of most to fabricate. If you're not too sure of your welding skills (like me) you could have it welded easily at a commercial welding shop.
