OFFICE MEMO Tubing Source? Date: 10/5/95
Hi all,
I was hoping somenbody might give me a clue as to where I can find some steel
tubing. I'm trying to get some 5/16" OD x ~.047 wall so as to construct some
oil lines for an engine I am working on. I have looked at several normal auto
parts shops, but all they have are reall thick walled brake lines. I tried a
couple of steel yards, but they only go down to 1/2". I tried an actual
tubing
supplier, but they have a $100 minimum.
Does anyone have a suggestion on the type of place I could look for a small
(about 6' long section) of tubing? I have previously been using some fuel
line
from a wrecked 'B, but what remains is already too bent to fabricate into
anything else. It's rather frustrating. I wouldn't have thought something
like
that would be that hard to find.
Oh, and while I'm at it, does anyone know a local type of place that you can
get
those "banjo" fittings like those that go on the fuel lines?
Thanks all,
Rick
