Default RE: 25mm Wing Tube? Where can I get one?

I bought my aluminum tube from a local hydraulic and hose parts store. Yes, it's a 1" OD however, 400-600 wet/dry sanding paper produces a nice smooth finish and will drop that .4mm off the OD. I just had a similar problem with my Seagull 1.20 AT6. The wing tube was too short. I also used some graphite on the tube while inserting it. Worked perfectly. A 6 ft. length of tube was about $7.00
