Need to find 5/16" Alum Tube

Jun 05, 2004 3 Replies

Hi



Thought I'd take a chance to see if someone can help me out.



I need two short pieces of alum tube 5/16" OD by .210 - .215" ID (ID is more critical than OD). I've checked all the online sources and found it at McMaster Carr, however they just sell 6' lengths. All I need is 2 pieces



7.5" long.

Any chance anyone has some pieces I can buy for cheap? I'll pay postage too.


It was a good idea but no luck. I went to 3 hobby stores today and 3 industrial supply type places. I've went ahead and ordered 6' from McMaster.

One thing I don't like about McMaster is that you have no idea what shipping charges are until you get the email confirmation. Mine just told me that I'll be paying almost $16.75 for shipping on a $9.75 part. Oh well, if you need it what else are you going to do?
