WTB - material for cylinders

[kvom]

I need a small amount of material to make two cylinders for current engine project. I have enough 360 brass for one, but alternatively would like other material for 2. I need 3" length of minimum 2.125" diameter round for each. Material could be durabar, brass, or bronze.

I have had very good experiences with Speedy metals for Class 40 cast iron. I have bought from the several times.
Brass is about 5 times the cost of cast iron so CI is becoming the material of choice. I like it better for cylinders anyway.

Speedymetals has been ok for me. They packed a foot of 3" dia 0.062" wall brass tube in with 26 lbs of assorted steel and two little puffs of wadded paper with the predictable result that the brass tube arrived rather squashed. They did send me a free replacement tube pronto however. I'll order from them again.
