The correct Mosquito body tube length is 2-inches. So you want to match long nose cones with short tubes?

If I were for some reason interested in building mosquitos, I would toss the 1.75" tubes and replace them with 2-inchers. I'd also cut the shoulder in half with a saw. You don't need that anchor point for the recovery system anyways. But not worrying too much about it is not a bad option because these are, almost, fire and forget rockets.
