From what I've heard, the main tubes were close to 3", but since they were sourced in Europe they were actually a metric size.
.090 would be close to what they were rated as, since metal guage thickness is pretty universal.
Agree, .120 would be a better substitute and DOM if possible, but very little difference between DOM and ERW .
