Put either a bead of weld around the outside edge to create a ridge, out 4 sheet metal screws will work too. That's what I did on some of my aluminum pipes that lacked a ridge.

Some of the most effective solutions are always some of the weirdest... but the weirder the better. I had a dvd that wouldnt play and my buddy told me to use toothpaste on it, sure enough it worked... musta been the added tarter control

anyway, if toothpaste can fix a dvd, then hair spray will take care of your ic pipe!!
