I have three of those Kings here. I don't see three straight sections of tubing other than the outer slide tubes. Can you repost the picture with arrows pointing to the tubes you want me to measure?

Thank you.
The long one is 12 3/16". The short bottom one is 3 13/16". There are actually three short ones on top. Two of them are 2 3/16" and the other is 2 1/2".

You can eliminate the 'curly-cue' on top by making a slide that looks like this. Those are 1" squares on the background.
