Default Where can I get hold of a 3" ID thick walled steel pipe/tube?
Can anybody help/suggest anywhere?

Needs to be 3"/76mm internal diameter, with around a 5mm thick wall. Only need a 6" length of it.

And ideas?

No it's to make a sleeve, not an exhaust.

Tried eBay! I'll ring up the local metal place Monday, just wondered if anyone knew of somewhere that would do it for sure beforehand.
