Out2gtcha Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 SmallParts.com They have an enormous selection of tubing. Its where I get all my separate tubes of stainless hypodermic tubing. HTH Cheers, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I have been to that website but there is so much stuff on there I can't figure out what I need. Any one know the tubing there that has the thinnest walls? J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHatch Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I know it's UK based, but you can do no better IMHO than ALBION ALLOYS This stuff is amazing and totally precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I'd love to know a source for this type of material in Australia too. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stusbke Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I know it's UK based, but you can do no better IMHO than ALBION ALLOYS This stuff is amazing and totally precision. I also fully support this brand. Its one of the best things since Magic Sculp I have a quite a stock of their stuff and its coming more and more handy for my scratch work.... the cool thing is you can mix up the brass with the alu rods so it will save you soem work when its time to paint it all up Cheers Greetz STB Frederick Jacobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Hi Chris! The above sources must be good, but I've been using the McMaster-Carr stainless-steel hypodermic tubes - I believe they call it miniature tubing. Study the ID's and OD's and you can telescope many differenct sized. Cost? For what you get it is reasonalble. IMHO - the link: http://www.mcmaster.com/#miniature-tubing/=8pa977 HTHs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 Anyone have a source for metal tubing that is less than 1/16' ? Hi Chris, If the "tubing" has to be hollow I can't help. But.....if not and flexible wire will work go to this link: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...5004000_175-4-9 This very flexible lead wire is really great stuff and there is plenty on each spool.
