does any one know where i can get plastic pipe about 54mm, or 45mm? find plenty 5mm either side but that would make it too big or two small.

EMA's do a good range of plastic ABS tubing, 44.4mm available-

54mm is a bit more tricky, they do 57mm.

When I want a custom size of tube, I either turn down a piece of thicker tubing, or GRP laminate onto a wax former (I use candle wax).

cheers, couldnt find it in my catalogue, but thanks for the link, going to do some sums, see if that will be big enough for what i want to do. will go to merchants when i get a chance and see what i can find there. would be nice to find something close to 54mm

I've some 54mm OD, how long do you need it.

[colin-stevens]

The lengths I have are about 150-160 cms, but I have sleeves to join it.
What it is is BT cable duct in grey, looks like downspout.
maybe the green stuff that cable TV/phone people use is the same size.

You are welcome to 2 meters worth, It's a bit mucky, it's been outside for some years under the shed
 ...but....I'm in Lancashire. :)

What are you making?
