I would make the OD of the tube the same as the ID of the hose, check the hose size is it 1.875" or 1.750? Check the part number of the lower hose with the manufacturer for sizing. You may have to start with 2" aluminum thick wall tubing. The barb does not have to be .125 deep to allow for retention of the hose .065-.080 is plenty, eliminate the sharp corner on the barb.
