Making a coupler has been covered before, but this one and it's application is a bit different. I've made them out of body tubes but not from stiff, black fish paper before.There was no Series 11 coupler in my parts box.
I do have a BT-55 coupler. It's slightly bigger so it'll be cut down to size.
This black fish paper it hard to cut through! Use a sharp knife.

It's been marked down it's length for the first cut.

After the cut was made, it was slipped into the Series 11 tube and the overhang marked with pencil.
Cut off the overhang a little oversize, to the side of the pencil line. You'll be sanding it down for the best fit.
