I'm looking to purchase some custom made cylinder bands for a project I'm doing but I'm not sure of who to go to. Is there anyone who's well known on SB (or other forums for that matter) that could help me out with this?

A good metal shop or guy can make anything you want.. I made bands on my slip roll... Not that hard to do really.. Stainless steel is more work then cold rolled steel, But looks nicer...

@cool_hardware52 should be able to help you out
I think these fit 215mm center manifolds:
6.9 to 7.00 Inch Stainless Steel Cylinder Bands w/ Protective Rubber Padding
I like to add a spacer between cylinders to force bands to keep cylinders parallel and at the optimum spacing. Bands can change spacing a little depending on how precisely they are made and the tension on the bolts. Look close at the photo for the white UHMWPE spacer. A red line points to it.

Do some searches and you can find the bands you need: 6.9" to 7.25" NESS Tank Bands
You don't need custom. You can buy those bands new if you really want.
Sent you a PM in case you are interested in some used bands.

I saw these, but I wasn't sure if their ability to fit 6.9" cylinders was just when you over tighten bands meant to fit 7.25" cylinders.
I saw these but I wasn't sure of their spacing, so I avoided them.
I am looking for someone who has expericnce making bands for scuba so that I don't end up breaking my manifold.
I also don't need mismatched 7" bands.
The manifolds are adjustable so if set right there should not be any tension on them.
