Default Need help finding a 3" to 4" Aluminum reducer/cone

Trying to find a 3" to 4" reducer/cone in aluminum. I'm not having any luck and was hoping someone on here has a reference...

Thank you.

Burns has some.

I have 3 to 3.5" in stock if you can make that work. I ran into a case where i needed a 3-4 and i rolled one out of .065" alum. sheet. Definitely cheaper to buy one than the time i had in building one, but if you need something quick...

I've done that before too, very time consuming. What I have since started doing for Al that needs to reduce 1" or more is pressing the tube over these 15* cones/dies I made, that will get you .5" transistion before you wreck the material, then I press the next size over the die to get the last half of the transition, I then cut and weld the two parts together and you get 1" I can do the whole procedure in under 30 minutes now, still kind of gay but its works.
