I'm looking for a company that can provide lengths of tubing the same size as a C8 tube. Any suggestions?

I've ordered and been happy with my 12" OD X 48"L aluminum tube from Hastings Irrigation for my 10"f4.5 Newt.
They cater to ATMs for those sizes shown and ship UPS in sturdy cardboard boxes with square cut plywood end supports.
I was able to get the tube powder coated from a shop in Melbourne, FL for around $100. VERY nice job and far better than trying to paint it.
Good luck.
