how do I attach 25mm of crylic tube into 40mm of alimunium pipe?
For an art project, I need to secure a 1m length of acrylic tubing with a diameter of 25mm into a 300mm length of aluminium pipe with a diameter of 40mm. The acrylic needs to be centred in the pipe, and only 1/3 of the tube can be inside the pipe. Is there a rubber washer or a plumbing adapter that could be modified for purpose? The tube needs to be 100% secure inside the pipe.
All help greatly appreciated :)

You have to secure a piece of separate acrylic tube lathe machined in a machine shop such that it's inside diameter is made to fit the 25mm diameter acrylic in, having a tube thickness of 15mm outside diameter. The clearance of both tubes is 15mm so it would snugly fit inside the aluminum if you give clearances of at least 1% by filing the acrylic and inserting it in.
