Fencer Here -

Stop cutting now and save yourself some work.

You can buy pipe post adapters, for 1 7/8 or 2 3/8 pipe. Even if you need to sleeve the existing to make it work you'll be better off.

Lowes advertises that they have the adapters. Call a local fence contractor to get them to cut sleeves if you need them, don't bother with the light wall stuff at the home stores.

Alright, you are the second person to mention sleeves. I need to look at this. I wonder if I can buy them pre-cut or if I need to have them done as a one-off by a fencing pro?

Home depot has the brackets too. What will matter is the spacing of those existing posts. If you are buying premade sections the spacing will probably be too big. If too small you can of course cut the section down. If its longer you can build the sections custom sized with 2x4s and pickets. You could also rent a core drill and add extra metal posts in between. Good luck!
