Old Style Drill Seed Tubes

Looking for a source having the old style steel coiled seed tubes. Have converted a 10 inch drill to 15 inch and a couple of the rubber tubes/hoses are offset enough that they tend to sag a little and require some support to work properly. The coiled seed tubes wouldn't have this problem. Perhaps should post on implement side but assume this venue will get more traffic. Thanks for any help.
 
Appreciate the reply and will check, but the farm building lane is drifted and we are getting more snow so it might be a few days. It is a JD model 520 drill and the parts book gives a M16457 tube for the earlier ones which is canceled/replaced by a N210223 hose. Will call the JD dealer and see if they can get the length. If memory serves me correctly, there are only a couple that really need to be "fixed". Actually 16 total, but don't expect anyone to have NOS parts for that many. Possible to use three and make two if one isn't long enough because I know a good welder.
 
I'd like someone to tell me how these steel tubes were made in the first place. I know it is spring steel but how were they rolled? I'd like to try to make some of these tubes.
