I need about 500mm of 48mm Outside diameter, 3mm wall mild steel tube, anyone know if this is a standard size? know of a supplier, or have a bit kicking around, 4 x 150mm offcuts would do....

Cheers.
Pete.

That would be 1 1/2" nominal bore if that's any help.

Thanks for the replies chaps, there's a stockholder not far from me I'll give them a try....

Rather not use stainless, I need to weld it to mild steel flange, and do a bit of machining on the ends for the throttle body connections.

Cheers.
