Need about a 5 ft chunk of 8mm OD stainless round, with a hole through the
center lengthwise. Hole size not critical, somewhere in the range of 1.5 to
2.5 mm.
I've checked out gun drilling sources, but they seem to top out around 200x
diameter
for length of hole. This is more like 600x. Metric stainless DOM?

No idea of the alloy, but it's pretty springy. 304? 312? 316?

5/16" would probably work, but the original is definitely metric.

Anybody have a source, or just a suggestion of where to look?

Thanks,
Bill

Hey there Ned, I thank you for that materials link too, a keeper; i
need a couple similar, just lurking/passing through, i'm a cheapo and
was pondering if common auto brake line, or other hydraulic line may be
of stainless, & if so, perhaps more locally convienient, depending . .
..
cheers! --jm
