Shock Shaft Sleeve... Where to purchase?

Hey guys, hopefully someone knows where I can purchase a new set of sleeves for the shock shaft as I am transferring the shaft protective sleeve from my OEM shocks to my replacement shocks that are naked. The sleeves on my OEM shocks were stamped in three places to hold them in place on the shaft, so they had to go.

Included is a photo of what I am referring to. Unfortunately any place I look these sleeves come complete on new shocks.

Figured out a better replacement. I went to Lowe's and found the same diameter copper pipe as the sleeve. 3/8" x 2' long pipe for under $8 and I'm all set.

I've included a photo of my prototype. Even the new rubber bushing fits over it no problem. Being that it's copper, I don't see it rusting onto the shock shaft as the old one did.
