When you say fabricate, are you looking for machining or welding or ? Do you have drawings? Are you looking for job shop or production work? Some more details would be helpful to point you in the right direction.

Metric dimensioned steel is tough to source in the US if you're buying small quantities. Do the parts you need for your kart absolutely have to be metric to function properly, or would the nearest 1/8" increment function the same? You will have a much wider range of materials readily available in Imperial sizes.

I imagine you are trying to make nerf bars or rear bumpers and want to keep the original tube slipped into tube design. Most fabricators used standard available tubing and then machine a piece of round bar stock for end piece.
