Reuse or make a compression sleeve equivalent to the original.  Modern
compression sleeves do not fit properly!  Modern nuts also do not fit
properly.

With the original components, it takes only very modest torque on the nut to
lock the tube.  I tightened mine just the other day using a 4" 'shorty'
wrench and it held fine.
