you aren't going to find these



-Drain pipe and laterals
Not sure what a drain pipe is, but laterals can be bought from Wick's, Aircraft Spruce, or McMaster. Henry James has some parts for tandems



-Beefy fork bits.
I suggest you buy a tandem fork

Ceeway has 2 lugs, but for a dropped (mixte) stroker top tube. They also have 28.6x1.3 unicrown blades. If you ask directly they probably would have other stuff.

Nova has some beefy tandem chainstays, and have a new crown that'll take big blades.

A couple cool set of photos were recently posted by Tom Kellog at Spectrum cycles demonstrating projects involving fabrication of bilaminate lugs. You could make your own non-standard lugs for most any unavailable configuration following these examples.

I swear Spectrum had a bilaminate tandem recently, but I was too lazy to scroll through all of the pictures
