Right - next set of silly questions.
- Does it have to be a smooth bore? (Does the tube have to be seamless or can it have a weld fin along the length. If you got some say 10mm by 1.5mm tube, would drilling it out to 10mm by 1mm be acceptable?)
- Does it need to be pressure capable?
- Do you need continuous lengths? - If you got say 3 x 50mm lengths of the diameter 10 would that work?
- Lastly, what is the urgency? how long can you wait?
I can get some of this stuff from the US, but 10mm comes in 0.5mm wt or 1.5mm wt. 1/4" is easier but is either in 1 ft lengths or 3 ft lengths. Typically the tube is cheap (ish) but freight costs.

Try an airport and see if any of the aircraft mechanics have anything you can work with. Aircraft use various SS alloys and aluminium for hydraulic, brake, and fuel lines. The other thought I had was brake lines for cars.
