Pacific composites in Qld I think was the company Gazz
The last carbon spar I got was from Ebay and it is excellent quality
the trouble with the spar I got from the other guys was that I had to machine about 0.15 mm" off the OD so it would fit. It was a painfull and messy excersize. You might have better luck with the sizes you after tho' mine was just over 20mm and had to be about 19.90 Maximum.
Just as an aside,
The twist test is what archers do with their carbon arrow shafts. You can imagine the abuse arrows get fired into a target time after time and are often hit by other arrows as well.
The last thing you want is an arrow to fail when you loose it. When they break they have been known to go through the archers forearm. Ouch !!
