Been trying to find out the same thing bmb.Can tell you a 2016 is too small and a 2117 too big.Maybe a 2018 or 2020 if I could find one to try.

If you are looking for inside dia. the 2013 XX75 would be bigger than a 2016 or 2018. Outside dia. would be the same. What is the purpose of footing a carbon shaft with aluminum? I have used Alum on a wood shaft with good results......James

I footed mine with some 2117's. It isn't a tight friction fit but once you cover the outside of the shaft and inside of the footing w/ epoxy it works fine.

I also used 2117's I use gorilla glue it expands and looks like it will fill in any gaps,so for it seems to work good.

Just did some math...

looks like 2013's should be pretty good....

I use 2117's a little loose but seem to be effective with lots of epoxy.
