man you must have hte same supply pile as me LOL ....

I had my buddy make me these --no drill press at the time and me and a hand drill equal some not so straight holes .... pretty monster chunk of steel. 2-3 pounds each. basically a round plug the id of the 2x2, you may have to grind or file the seam ridge inside 2x2.

if you're going the other direction through the tube, i'd stay 1/8th to 1/4 inside of the corner radius (makes for a slightly narrower, lighter plug) and run fully side to side with 1/8th or more stickout to run a weld bead onto.
