WTD 19mm ID steel tube?
I have had to cut and weld my steering column to make it fit...
To ensure that its nice and strong I want to weld a sleeve over the joint on the shaft...
The shaft is 19mm diameter, so I need some 19-20mm ID tube atleast 50mm long, perferably slightly longer.
I dont supose anyone has any spare?
The only local comany who has any will only sell me a 7 meter length

Try electrical conduit.
If you go to a few building sites, look in their skips, there is always off cuts lying about.

Not a bad idea, its a bit on the thin side isnt it?
Would it be acceptable to use sheet steel and roll+weld it into place, or will Mr SVA frown upon it?

Got some steering shaft tubes here with a 17.5 ID, 21.5 OD.
Got anything to lap, or drill it out with?

Chears for the input guys.
I found a piece of 18mm ID seamless tube....(part of the stand for a flower pot...I hope no one notices that its now 70mm shorter )
I filed it out to 19.2mm...and it slid on like a glove...all painted and ready to go back in the car
