Default Where to source 3mm OD CF tube

I finally have a MH X frame on the way and am planning on running a 3mm CF tube for my new tail. My LHS doesn't stock 3mm OD CF tube (just 3.2mm). Hobby King is OOS of the 3mm tube, and I'm looking for a quick solution. I've read somewhere on these forums before that some other Blade product uses 3mm CF rod, but I can't find the post anywhere. I think it was a strut for a larger heli, maybe a 450.

Does anyone know what other Blade product uses a 3mm tube that I can cannibalize for my new tail?

I believe you can use 120SR tail boom, or maybe the 450 boom support?

I could be wrong, but worth checking,.
