I have a lathe in my basement as well as a mill. Send me exact dimensions on a
drawing and I can turn that out for you for the cost of shipping. I have lots
of scrap aluminum rod that I can use.

Totally non aviation related but if the part I am looking for exists,
I'm sure someone here knows where to get it.
I have this mechanism (details not important) that is actuated with a
rope, probably 3/16" parachute cord. The rope will exit out of a wood
cabinet through a round hole. The problem is the pull on the rope will
be almost at 90 degrees from the axis of the hole causing it to rub on
the edge of the hole which will make the rope wear out and cause lots of
friction. What I am looking for is some kind of metal insert I can put
in the hole that will have a large inside radius to give the rope a
smooth surface to ride on. I know a pulley would be the ideal solution
but that would make the cabinet unattractive and the force on the rope
will be less than 20 lbs so I think it should work fine with just some
kind of bushing in the hole. The larger the radius the better this
should work. I'm hoping to find something made out of either Stainless
steel or Brass. I guess a plastic would be ok too but I would rather it
be metal.
What I had in mind was something with a similar cross section to the
attached drawing. I could just have a machine shop put a radius on a
brass bushing but I would rather not have to do that, and I haven't
found a bushing with a thick enough wall to get as large of a radius as
I would like, 1/4" or larger.

If you have a quick change tool post on your lathe and a holder with a drill
chuck, you can use a corner rounding end mil to make the radius. Would take
maybe five minutes to setup and cut.

You might consider using an aluminum flange for ducting. The smallest
size hole
is 1". Just a thought...
