How to change old style Tesoro shaft for new style

I just bought a Tesoro Sidewinder µMax with the original all metal 2 piece shaft. Is there any easy way to put it on the new style shaft with cam locks and fiber lower shaft? If I just replace the metal lower shaft with a newer fiber shaft will it fit in the original upper metal shaft without it being wobbly?
 
All you need is a complete newer shaft assembly and then just switch the control box over to it.

Yes that would be the ideal solution, but being that I can't even find a Tesoro lower rod, finding a complete shaft assembly would be impossible. Thanks

I can measure my fiber shaft and give you the measurements to compare with the lower rod you have if that will help you.
That will help you determine if both shafts are the same diameter.
My lower shaft on my Vaquero measures 31/32" or 25mm.

Here is a photo of my Sidewinder µMAX metal shaft. Diameter of the lower shaft is 18mm.

I just looked at your reply to my post.
The plastic shaft is quite a bit larger in diameter and will not fit into the upper shaft you have.
Are you looking to make you detector lighter?
Just curious as to what you are trying to do.
