So far, only McMaster carries 3/8" (0.375) OD x 5/16" (0.3125) ID (wall thickness 1/16" 0.03125) stainless steel tubing in stock. And it is expensive. There are plenty of places that have stainless steel tubing that is 3/8 OD but with a wall thickness of 0.035. For instance, Aircraft Spruce has 304 SS tubing in those diameter for only $3.35/ft. Do either of you have a lathe available to drill/ream your short length to the proper interior diameter? My offer still stands to purchase the stock from McMaster or any other other U.S. source and ship it on to you.

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...
