Default ST13 1.34” OD tubing - where to find

Does anyone know where I can find this stuff? It’s outta stock at erockets and I’m stumped as to where else one might find it.

TIA

ST-13 is 34.6mm OD.

The closest I have been able to find is Quest 35mm body tube.

ST-13 has been unavailable for quite some time.

Semroc had it.

eRockets lists several (Semroc legacy), but the longer tubes are all out of stock. Some shorter ones are available.

It is heavy duty tube for Enerjet clones but LT-125 has that OD:https://www.erockets.biz/semroc-bod...0-discontinued/

But if one wanted to use a ST-13 nose, or old old Egg Crate payload section, or an old Astrocam (which IIRC used the ST-13 sized tube instead of BT-55), the inside diameter would be too small. Also, would need custom centering rings.

Although if a person had an old slide-on plastic fin unit, then that tube would work (albeit the nose cone issue).

I would slice off the NC shoulder and glue in the LT-125 balsa coupler if they are still available. I have a couple of old AAA kits that use that method.
