surely steel and tube will sell you length. a length of tube costs around 50 bucks so crush tube wont cost much.

i have used 1/2 inch galv water pipe

grind the galv off and away i went

theses will be crush tube for the steering box

the LC o.e stuff would of been lucky to be 1.5mm thick sidewalls and not overly hightensile as i had to drill the old one out and once thru the weld they drilled quite easy
