Only today I have been promised a pair of original 106 tubes which makes up the required six for the racks. My thoughts are that my firend was waiting to see if I could acquire enough to make a set, a case of if you do most of the work I'll help you out!
What was the biggest worry was if the 105 cases were a larger diameter and woundn't fit in the rather tight racks. The crates have now arrived from Alaska and the tubes do slide in but are a little long preventing the retaining bar locking in place. The important thing is that the end caps now look correct and should match the 106 tubes (cross fingers) even if I have to shave down the length in the middle.
They even sent the fired shell casings!  
Very happy now.
