Reeves 2000 used to list it. Might be worth giving them a ring.

MACC models list 1/4″ x 16swg wall copper tube, which would take the usual 40tpi thread.

Could silver-solder bronze or copper end-pieces onto a length of thinner walled tubing, but that might not take much torque on assmbly.

It is usually a stay, so be careful about using thin wall pipe
