Hi, This might be the cats pyjamas or a car crash, but "WICKES" are selling 1000 mm x 16 mm aluminium tube for £5. 96 on line, what the ad does not say is whether the 16 mm is inside or outside diameter. Might be worth an E-MAIL.

I am a great believer in saving money,(My lady say's I'm tight) but have you checked your workshop/kitchen/garage? A "Staedtler marker pen tube has an inside diameter about 16mm,
I am sure there are other bits and pieces that you will find that will do the job.
