Default Where can I find this size aluminum tube?

This is not 993-specific, but then again I think I add enough 993 drivel to this forum...

I'm looking for a short length of aluminum tube/pipe with an inside diameter of 2-1/16". I only need 12" or less for a project. The online sources I've found only sell in 10' or 20' lengths.

Wall thickness is not important, but the thinner the better.

Any thoughts?

Greg,
They have a 2" I.D. tube which may work. Worst case, I can have it opened up a bit by "that" machinist.

Try Smallparts.com. Select the aluminum 6061 - T6511 Round. They have a 36" piece with outside of 2.25 - inside 2.12 for $25.23

I have some T6 pipe in the garage that is 2.065" ID. Are you going to polish it? There is some outside trama from being in my box of drops.
