Roddy & Greame,

I have no idea where you can find it in the UK, but it's available from 
McMaster-Carr here on this side of the pond.

McMaster has this and only this:

Material
Type 440C Stainless Steel
Shape
Structural Tubes
Structural Tube Type
Plain Round
Structural Tube Tolerance
Precision-Ground
Outside Dia.
3/8" (.375")
Outside Dia. Tolerance
-.0002"
Inside Dia.
5/16" (.3125")
Inside Dia. Tolerance
+.0002"
Length
6"
Length Tolerance
=B1.01"
Rockwell
C50-C55
Specifications Met
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
ASTM Specification
ASTM A276

for a price of $99.74 + shipping.  That's UK=A364.50 + shipping.  
Whooeee, I don't remember that it cost that much several years ago when 
I did the mod, but that's what it is now.

You can go to McMaster.com and search on Stainless Steel Tubing.  
On that page you can specify the OD and ID which will bring up the 
above.

A 6 inch length should be sufficient for at least 2 mods so it isn't 
quite as painful to the purse if you share.

You may order it directly from McMaster or if you wish, I'll be glad to 
order the tubing and forward it on to either of you.  Once I know the 
end costs after shipping, you can post it to my PayPal account.  
Hopefully the import tariff on your end won't be a killer.

Blue skies & tailwinds,
