Here are the very basics of what I need. If you know someone who can
offer it, please let me know and I'll put you or the contact in touch
with my engineer / purchasing guy to see if we can place an order. He
will provide drawings and better specs.

DOM tubing - steel

2.750" ID +/- 0.001" (prefer 0.0005")

3.000" OD

5.430" length per part.

Hard Chome Plating inside prior to honing will likely be necessary.

I don't care if the folks do it in 40' lengths and then part it to
length or if they do it piece by piece... I simply need the parts
made and am doing all I can to stay out of Asia for these... HELP!?!

Quantities are not huge, but not 5 pc. orders either. We would
probably order around 250 pcs. on an order after seeing proof of
quality.

Isn't that basically hydraulic cylinder tubing which I believe is
available off the shelf and not very expensive?

A quick search show 2.750" ID and 3.125" OD honed hydraulic cylinder
tubing is a standard stock item. http://www.teamtubellc.com under honed
tubing is one example.

2.745" to 2.755" is their range. Unacceptable for what I need.

While a hydraulic cylinder rebuilder was proudly showing me the large
honing machine he had designed, he mentioned that the requirement is
for smoothness, not straightness or roundness. The seals have
relatively a lot of compliance.

Here's another tubing supplier:

Smoothness (only) can be accomplished with a simple flexible hone or the
older standard "cylinder hone" with a flexing frame and solid 'bone style'
grit bars. It must not have been much of a machine to simply move a hone
back and forth! That could be done with one long cylinder a valve, and two
limit switches. (and it would probably be straight, if not round)

That thing was big enough to hone artillery barrels.

I spent a couple of years of apprenticeship on the nitty-gritty of
designing large accurate machines, meaning those with structural
members too large to drill and mill precisely at one clamping on the
Bridgeport. I can locate holes to 0.005" manually without too high a
scrap rate.

I used one of those tricks last week to open up the hole through an
irregular-shaped part.

Yep. +/- 0.005" Can't use it on a precision machine like mine. Works
fine for push-pull, but not for a quality drill spindle cylinder.

I can run them off for you. I should have a mandrel for the sunnen 1801.

Sorry, was in Africa doing some touring and even a bit of metalworking
(had to cut stainless steel rods for a well project - by hand - no
collant - outside.) See photo links below if you'd like...

e-mail me directly or reply with some sort of contact info if you
would like to quote the parts for us.

Here are the photo links:

Here are some links to the photos we took while in Ghana. You should
be able to see them even if you do not have Facebook.

This was 80% vacation, 20% mission.... With the mission being us
connecting with people I know and fixing a clean water well that had
failed. Glad to report we had success on both.

I'm sending this generic message because I'm swamped with 1900
customer e-mails. I may not check back here anytime this or next
week.
