hate to say it but the old fashioned way. Loosen, move, look, tighten, look, curse, loosen.....My Tigershark Corsa’s go out all the time and because of design, have an additional joint that can get messed up.

@JimHarris4 browsing around I found those which are meant to fit your current tips : Stainless steel tips 1997-2000
hope it helps, for a cheap version. For the rest, it is cut and clamps, or cut and weld....
my 2 cents

Sorry for the late response - no welding. I considered a dab of JB Weld - but decided to try the supplied fastener first. The bolt has a lock washer - haven't had a bit of an issue with them loosening.
