Problem is, I thought about this after welding and painting them

well in that case i,d plug them with sealant. but make sure they are totally dry inside first.

Hi, dont use bath sealant its corrosive to metal use something like sikkaflex.
you could pour some oil down the tubes or some dinitrol or the other rust preventative that i cant remember the name of at the mo.
