Phil & Raimo,
I've been looking for a source for your SS tubing.
So far, only McMaster carries 3/8" (0.375) OD x 5/16" (0.3125) ID (wall
thickness
1/16" 0.03125) stainless steel tubing in stock. And it is expensive.
There are plenty of places that have stainless steel tubing that is 3/8 OD but
with a wall thickness of 0.035. For instance, Aircraft Spruce has 304 SS tubing
in those diameter for only $3.35/ft. Do either of you have a lathe available
to drill/ream your short length to the proper interior diameter?
My offer still stands to purchase the stock from McMaster or any other other
U.S.
source and ship it on to you.
Check six,
Bob Borger
