I thought I was going to be smart and suggest using the 1/4" as a guide for
the new 3/16", but I just tried it with two pieces of Nylaflow, and it gets
pretty hard to slide after about 6" or so.  Some lubrication might get you
there though.  But maybe the moral of the story is to use 3/8" for new
construction (as a guide tube) and then 3/16" as the line itself,
guaranteeing easy replacement later.  Mine is 3/16" and it's not coming out
without a fight either...
