I  had to have the reinforcing ring profiles made in 180 degree segments as it was too expensive for full 360 degrees.  I have to roll the other parts myself and weld them all together.   They seem to fit perfectly into the hull.  I made a big fuss over making sure the tube was rolled to a tight tolerance to ensure it stayed as round as possible.  In fact, I could have got the hull made a lot cheaper at a different place I received a quote from, but I went with Deepdale Engineering as they said they could roll the tube to the tolerance required.
