Take a trip to your local Home Depot or Lowes - plumbing dept.
Look for a "coil" of copper tubing - have them show you various sizes.
Though it's not corrugated, it is flexible - and you can use compression
fittings - or - soldered fittings with threads.
Makes for good 2-meter quad elements. *use larger sizes for more bandwidth
smaller sizes are more flexible, of course - what size are you looking for?

Sorry for the of topic post but I don't know where to ask and it is my
experience that people who build their own antennas can be rather
resourceful.

I'm not sure of the correct terminology to use but I have been trying to
find some "corrugated" metal tubing with threaded attachments on the ends.
Kind of like item 50035A661 from McMaster.com web site. *The problem with
the one on McMaster web site is they are larger than I want and I am
hoping to find something with a more standard machine screw thread too..
Thanks for the help.

It is hard to visualize yout needs expecially because of the small
dimensions.
The closest I can get to your needs is a corregated drinking straw
which is then covered by an adhesive metal foil or even a metallized
plastic sheet ( not mylar) of 1 mil thickness which would be very
flexible
