   If you need a different diameter and know what diameter you need,   
   any decent hardware store or home improvement big-box store in   
   the US and perhaps elsewhere will have a wide assortment of sizes   
   of PVC, ABS, and metal pipes and round conduits.  Some adhesive   
   and copper foil would seem likely to be useful for making the   
   plastic types useable.
