Conrod , are you sure about the size as it looks like you are after a piece one inch long by six inchs internal diameter and one eight of an inch wall thickness?? Would an old hydraulic ram be any good, have a mate who is a hydraulic engineer and makes rams , he may be able to help. Rusty

Plumbers use a length of plastic stench pipe (soil pipe) with blanks on each end. Are you building a bazooka John ? Get on scrapheap challenge and look for a lorry engine with wet liners.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

John - there's an alu tube like that in the roof of the barn. Probably 4" diameter rather than 6" but it might do?
