TORZITE question for Jim Ising

Hi Jim.
Do you know if/when larger ID tube tips will be out? I'm looking to build on a rod with a 3.2mm tip and the largest available from Mudhole is 2.6mm.

Also, based on the new rings would a size 10 be a good option instead of a 12 (with SIC)? My original guide train was Titanium K SICs, 25, 16, 12, then 10s to a 10 tip. The TORZITE train was going to be 25, 16, 10, then 8s to and 8 tip.
Keen to get your input.
Thanks.

Can you get larger tubes from matagi japan? I tried to look them up but the text wouldn't translate on my phone and confused the crap out of me. Im looking for a larger tube as well so hopefully Jim can advise when he is done taking crap from Mike and John on SOL. If you can navigate Matagi, I would try there.

Currently we do not carry a 3.2mm tube top of any kind in TORZITE. Fuji shows an MN style top (with winding tang) in size 6 with a 3.2mm tube in their catalog as the largest TORZITE top offered at this time. Matagi shows this tube as well.

Sorry I don't quite follow. Do you have a link to that Torzite top as I can't find it. I can only find the TMNST top.
Thanks.
