I need a sleeve that's 41mm OD and 40mm ID. Can this be made? What process? Anyone have a lead on someone to do it? I only need 1 right now, but could order a bunch if the prototype works out.

20mm tall.
I don't really care what it's made out of. Once it's installed it doesn't move or take much load. |

What are the tolerances? That's a pretty thin wall, but certaily doable. Let me check what stock I have on the shelf.
41x40x20, right? Andy1 |

Hmmm, OD may be 40.75. That's pretty thin.

Ahh, figured it out. Happened to have some thin sheet metal around the shop and just made a 'shim'. Worked perfectly.

Speaking of shims... This evening I made some shims out of the plastic clam shell packaging that the phone car charger I bought came in. .007" thick, worked great. Finally found a use for that packaging crap!
