Imperial tube source?

[Alex.]

Hi
I've been to all the engineers and blacksmiths near me, and tried some of the stockholders on the web, but I can't find a supplier of 2 1/4" round tube. The general opinion seems to be that imperial sizes went out shortly after Noah finished his shipbuilding career. Does anyone know better? I need the particular size to fit inside another tube. BTW the size is 57.15mm in SI. Oh, and mail order would be a clincher!!!
Thanks
Alex.
