That's why we were hoping someone had one in a drawer somewhere

Do they have to be steel? If you could get away with using plastic or fibre then 38mm is a standard plumbing size (inch and a half). Should be able to get something for pennies.

Yes it does, the wind slammed the hab door against the stop and punched the catch through

Just been having a look 38s easy enough it's the 60 that's harder

It's only the 38mm internal dia. that is critical the outside dia can be anything, although 45 - 55 mm would look better.

As rb62 said. Agricultural supplier/ mole valley farmers in Devon/ any tractor place really.
Any one with a 38mm starrett hole cutter could knock one up from a bit of 3mm in no time,

I was going to ask Dawn to blow Tootles a kiss or two

Your sorted.
Could turn you one on the lathe/milling machine whatever dia/hole/thickness you needed, from whatever material you liked.
Anyone else stuck for bits & pieces we can generally make them up.

What a great forum this is.
