In rebuilding a large antenna, I'm looking for structural fiberglass
tubing-- 2.5" OD X 2" ID (1/4-in. wall).  This size is manufactured but so
far I've not found a supplier who has small quantities or remnants.  I only
need several feet, and the standard piece is 20 ft at about $10/ft.  Any
tips where to find a small quantity?

I'll buy a full length if necessary and if someone needs some of it, let me
know.

This material is ideal for insulating 40m elements inside 2.5" clamps.  My
antenna was up for 20 years, using it.
