probably not, it's a tapered tube - the taper end is rammed into the hole
in the wing and suitable supply of water applied to the other end.

Find someone who has one and turn down a suitable thick walled tube to
match the taper.


Schedule 80 PVC pipe or electrical conduit of an appropriate diameter would
likely be a good material to make that from. It may not be a retail item, but
is redily available at a wholesale plumbing or electrical supply.

Alternatively, you might get lucky enough that the bell end cut from a length of
ordinary PVC pipe would serve.
