For context, I’m on a division of my school's rocketry team, where we have been contracted out to build and fly a payload. So this is on behalf of our program, as we need the tube. (Cyclone Rocketry at Iowa State)
We have encountered some supply chain issues (CW moment...), and it’s unlikely we will be able to get the one we ordered. We are custom-machining everything, so whatever you got should work in terms of diameter, we just have to be able to shove two 98mmt's in it. The CAD says that the tube is supposed to be 72" long, but I can assume we have a little bit of wiggle room in terms of being too short, and obviously, we can cut it shorter if need be.
It looks like we also need a 9" coupler, CAD says 10".
Our deadline to fly the rocket is November 11/12, so the faster we get it the better.
If you have any sort of leads or thoughts, please let me know. Ask whoever you can, we really need this tube. And we need the tube to actually exist, and already be made.
If you have any leads, PM me, and I'll put you in contact with someone higher up in the team to deal with the financial side of it, along with some other logistical things.
I know these are rare, but please, if you have something, just let me know.
Thank you,
