silicone tubing

[joelhague]

anyone know of anyplace to get similar silicone tubing that lucky supply sells to replace the nipples on machines, i ordered some off ebay it was a bit too tight its tough to find the exact size, it needs a inside diameter of 2.5mm and an outer diameter of a little less then 5mm, 5mm stuff works but is super tight, i was just going to order thru luckys but it looks like they want to charge me 43 dollars shipping by fedex on a 10 dollar order....

this is the stuff i ordered http://www.ebay.ca/itm/360508296490?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

I think it's a "medium" RC fuel line. Have you tied a hobby shop near you?

[TattoosByRob]

Definitely try your hobby shop or where they sell gas remote cars...it's silicone fuel line....I buy it at my local hobby shop for a buck a foot, it's light blue and super awesome...

Try looking under angling and fishing. Some Carp rigs need silicone tubing and it is readily available here in the UK.

Try other suppliers in other countries.. Only in Sweden I found a lot.. Do a googletranslate on "silicone tube" and search what comes up.
But then you have the shipping and customs.. but for a little silicone tube, that cant be much.

Happy hunting.
Im gonna see if I can find some.. and if I happen to get a good size I might buy a whole roll of 25meter. In that case, I'll let you know.

I searched and tried SEVERAL types until I found ones that have the right size and density - it is rc fuel line tubing and its a specific size that is perfect for all my machines. If you do a search the info is posted (I think) here somewhere. If not I can get you the info tommorow including part number. It is called Medium but there is more than one size. Thats why i suggest the part number and brand

I have sent a couple of samples to people on here and they can give you their $0.02

the size you want is 3/32 3/16 - that translates to 4.5mm or smaller, (outside diameter) better to go smaller (4mm) typically "medium" fuel line

Ok.. I'm no expert, but if my calculations are right.. then the closest in rounded off metric would be ID: 2.5mm OD:4.5mm.
I found a supplier in sweden who specialize in tubing and such.. but they only showed ID and wall thickness.. and when I try to figure out the OD by the wall thickness I should double the lenght of the wall thickness, right?
Here below are three different thickness with the same ID.. which one should I go for? If I'm right, it,s the first, right?

*Ø 2,50 mm *1,00 mm *25m
*Ø 2,50 mm *1,50 mm *25m
*Ø 2,50 mm *2,00 mm *25m

Send them a email they should send another, Yes i love them. They work wonders on neotats or bishops ect.. without using the needle clip. The wall is thick so they go on real tight but its not hard to do and you can open the loop up abit to get more and more give with them. I can get so much give i wont buy another give machine and it seems so much more smoother then any give system machine. Still no noise unlike when you open up(cap) on give machines for the most give ,another plus is they have a back its not just a tube but yeah for that price i would try again and give them a shot , but let them know if it never shows up they will send it again im sure.

I orderd and just received this..seems really thick.(so thick I'm not even sure there would be give) also I'm gonna hafta stretch the eye loop to fitt these things..what's a good way to loosten eyes?.also does anyone know of some silicon tubeing that is super jellyish, I want alotta give..thanks yallz!.

[nivek]

The stuff I recommended is very squishy and not as thick. If you message me your address I'll throw some in an envelope for you to try out. The stuff I use does NOT require opening the eye, its a tight fight that squishes, I like it because of the give. I have tried at least 3 different types and liked this stiff so much I bought a roll, they have to be special ordered from the local hobbyshop.
