Rear shock leaking, AHC issue?

The pipe I used is 70 mm inside Ø and 75 mm outside. I think I got a meter of it, and was left with a small piece after cutting the two shields.

Here's a pic of mine:

And here's a test fit on a good shock, the wrong way around, just to see how it clamps:

So, what I cut off was the thicker part of the shield, which in this pic appears just below the plastic pipe. (On this shock it is still intact)

Here is the ready cut and prepared shock, just to slide the pipe up and clamp. I used a standard 125 or 115 mm angle grinder with a normal cutting disc. Put some RustBullet on the rusty part of the shock body.
