I'm trying to find some stainless tube but I only need 1200mm of it, all the people I have spoken to will only supply a minimum of 5000mm and as it a small quantity the price has doubled.lol. I have tried my local trading estates but they all tell me they don't use it.
any help out the re would be good ta. All the best. Phil.

Devizes Steel at Horton will sell small quantities to personal callers.

There is a company in Southampton called Fine Tubes, they send out a remnant list a couple of times a year. They should be able to supply short lengths. The last list I had had various grades of tubing.
For other companies search on tubes-stainless steel at

There are several stainless steel tube stockists.

3mm Od is a rough size,
I'm trying to make a thing fir carp fishing so what the tube is for is to run a wire for an LED to connect to, on the one end of the tube a co-polymer tube that the led sits in and on the other end a hinge type connection onto a battery box.
that is a rough and quick idea of its use and I need 3-4 of them at 300mm long. I did make some with aerial tube , chromed brass, but the wall is to thin and it bent to easily. all so I have tried ally tube from the model shop but that bent way to easily,
I live in Gloucester and the word 'scrounging' sounds like a very nice word.lol.
I will have to order some 10mmOD,6mmID 304 soon as I need to make new banksticks for fishing as I don't like paying £20 for a stick I can make for a fiver.
thanks for the reply, your a good man Jonathan

If you're going to use technology to cheat in order to get your catch, why not just chuck some dynamite into the river?

because it is illegal.lol
so "If you're going to use technology to cheat" why do you use a computer when you could phone people or write a letter or walk rather than cheat and drive.lol.

What is cheating about using the Internet?
There would seem to be some truth in the assertion that those who go fishing are engaged in an intellectual battle with their peers, would there not?

If Mr.Hull had any strength of character in his repeated silly threats upon this matter then he wouldn't need to attempt to dissemble his identity.....
