Bill,

For The prototype I used a 2" schedule 40 aluminum pipe 2-3/8" outside diameter.

I can change pipe size if needed.

Hi: I might be able to get you 2 lengths of 70mm borosilicate glass from broken single wall evac tubes, around 5' long each. I would just have to get them cut off smooth. That is around 2.75 inches outside. The cost to cut the glass at the glass shop should not be more than around $20 plus the shipping and packaging to send it to you where ever you are, if interested.....
