Have you checked Ebay? I recently wanted some ally tube - and although the
price per metre was probably higher than from a stockist, the small
quantity I needed cost me less in real money, including postage.

Somewhere that builds food or drinks machines maybe ? Maybe a model supplies
shop or company ? Stainless is not easy stuff to work with as it tends to
work harden.

hopefully will get what I want .thx again

It'll just be short straight lengths so there will only be cutting
involved and no bending. I need it to cover threaded rod .I'm making
a rod carrier using glaziers suction devices that you stick to car
bonnets and roofs to carry fishing rods short distances .
Thx for your help.
