There's a few places selling on ebay, I got a foot of 19mm (3/4" for about £3 posted not too long ago

I have some 25mm dia. if that will do.
One piece is 150+mm long and the other is about 140mm long.
I do not know the grade of alloy, but they came out of the Bentley factory.
Send me a U2U if you want them.

There will probably be a stall at Newark selling offcuts if you are stuck
