VB sells it as does Moss, or at least they did. The ones I received
were ~3/16" thick white felt with a lip so it doesn't disappear into the
tube and it's cut on an angle so when you rolled it up it made a
diagonal seam. I had to force it into the column (soak it in oil first)
but once in there is very little play. I have noticed the play
returning and it may have slipped. I thought about taping the ends so
they didn't pull apart but didn't do it for whatever reason.
I like the chrome tube idea!
Good luck,
Dave
