Hi,
I'm looking to get a custom pipe fabricated. The dimensions are 24" in length and 13.875" (13-7/8") inside diameter. The inside diameter needs to be perfectly in round, so it may need to be lathed. I'm not fussy over what material is used (something inexpensive) and the wall thickness doesn't matter, as long as it can stay in round under a small amount of pressure.

If anyone can help me out here in this community, I would love that. There is a skilled labour shortage in my area and getting a shop to fabricate this for me has turned into a complete nightmare.

The pipe would have to be shipped to Newfoundland, Canada. So it would be better for someone in Canada to make this to avoid border crossings.

Thanks,
Scott.

You need to find a company that makes hydraulic cylinder tubing. They may have what you need on the rack. If not they will certainly have the equipment necessary to make this piece. This piece you have described would be a real challenge to do on a standard engine lathe. It's doable but it would be expensive.
