I've looked there and at McMaster-Carr, the problem is always the 
same: Everyone sells this in 1/4" incremental diameters, and we need 
2-3/8". Off hand, you'd think that you could buy 2.5" tube and just 
tighten it down, but that requires closing down over 3/8" of 
circumference, which makes for a pretty nasty crush at the ends.

I have some alum flex tubing from McMaster-Carr that I've not spent 
any time trying yet. It may be the right diameter, but I'm not sure 
it will collapse enough to get it installed. It seems really stiff.

I'll get around to that someday.
