And whatever you do

 

Don't set fire to it.  Then blow the flame out and sniff the smoke

You will only do it once

When you find a big kettle of crazy it's probably best not to stir it - Pointy Haired Boss

What, an end fitting? Might be easier just to buy some graphite filler and make a little mould to fabricate it out of epoxy/silica/graphite mix. Fill the mould, drill out the hole in the middle and file/dremel and polish. Silica/graphite epoxy is pretty hard wearing.

No minimum order.

Pdf catalogue download. Looks like the closest they do is 15mm.

 

Thanks for the link, but it really needs to be 16mm
