David Jones: A.B.Chance Company and Hastings Fiber Glass Products both make fiberglass tubes that are used for Electric Utility hot line tools. Both extruded and mandrel wrapped prepreg, both are thermoset. I know Hastings will sell blank tubes, and I think Chance will. However, I think you would be disappointed in the product. I had access to all I could want when I built my 320, and was always about to use a tube for something - but seldom did. My air intake has a few pieces (one size just fits SCAT tubing) and that is about it. martell lindsay N360ML >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
