Where can I buy the black ribbed tubing for a Qui Gon or Obi Wan Ep 1 or Kyle Katarn saber?
I would like to build Kyle Katarn's saber. I could use TCSS parts: Blade holder 5, ribbed extension, gender changer, ribbed hilt 2 and pommel 3. It would not be 100% accurate, but it would do.

Sorry for the small size of the pictures. But you can see what I mean.
But what I really want is the black ribbed tubing seen inside Qui Gon's or Obi Wan's Ep 1 Saber then an appropriately sized tube slid over that and cut away to expose the ribbing. I suppose I could find a machinist here to make the center section. I would then use short screws to attach all the pieces - no gurantee of matching threads.
BTW. The price for the O-rings. Is it the price per ring or the price for a pack containing enough rings to cover one ribbed extension? Will the O-rings fit the grooves on the threaded hilts?
