I have a sonerai that someone previously had lopped off the firewall and installed an a65 onto the now shortened fuselage. I am looking to reinstate the full length of the front cockpit area and wish to splice the upper and lower longerons. I have a 43.13 book but i dont believe it covers square tubing. Would the methods for round tubing (probably the outside sleeve method) be appropriate for this type of repair? I believe it is 3/4 035 tubing there, maybe sleeve with some 7/8 049?

If i have missed square tube repair in the book please refer.me to the section/page numbers. Thank you!
