I've found onlinemetals.com, recently acquired by ThyssenKrupp NA, to
be an excellent source for small quantities of specialty metals and
plastics. They sell a 0.375" OD, 0.028" wall, 0.319" ID...SS 304/304L
tube @ $3.78/ft. It is also available in SS 316/316L @ $4.38/ft.
...can't help but wonder if such tubing may have been used in the
original mod if evidence of extraordinary expense for material or
special machining is lacking...
