Is it as easy as chucking them in a lathe an turning them out to 40mm ??
That will leave a cylindrical shape - not a venturi.
Will this new "shape" work properly?

Hi Mike
I have made my own venturis on a lath. I have bought some pieces of aluminum tube 40 x 50mm to produce 40, 40.5, 41, 41.5 and 42mm venturis for differents tests. It is not very difficult to do it but you have to modify the conicity angle for each different diameter
