metric spacer stock

[WeberKid]

Anyone know where I can get spacer stock drilled metric? Everything at my disposal is too big or too large because it isn't metric. I just need the stock - I can cut it to size on the lathe. Google isnt being very helpful.

So you need a specific bored ID and will turn it to your desired OD and cut to length?

precisely.

Found these guys - no idea where they are or what they charge.

If you have a lathe why not just turn inch material down to metric? I just looked at pricing on that website for metric material and it is pretty expensive.

I don't have the tooling to turn down the inside diameter at my shop.

also, the place first listed doesn't sell the ID I need, so I think I'm just going to buy original spacers, weld them together, and turn them down as needed (but this is probably the most expensive route - unless anyone knows of anything else?)
