Have you checked Ebay? I recently wanted some ally tube - and although the price per metre was probably higher than from a stockist, the small quantity I needed cost me less in real money, including postage.
Somewhere that builds food or drinks machines maybe ? Maybe a model supplies shop or company ? Stainless is not easy stuff to work with as it tends to work harden.

It'll just be short straight lengths so there will only be cutting involved and no bending. I need it to cover threaded rod .I'm making a rod carrier using glaziers suction devices that you stick to car bonnets and roofs to carry fishing rods short distances . Thx for your help.
stainless steel tube gives a fair selection - including this one:-
