Andy Green Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi I'm looking for some brake line tubing otherwise known as Bundy tube. I need various sizes that are a sliding fit with each other to make a pair of olios. Does anyone know where I can get some. It does have to be straight. Local garage have some coiled, but this is no good, even at the short lengths I need. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Johnston Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 If you put 'Bundy Tube' into google it gives you 11,000,000 links; many of them suppliers. This was the top one (link here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Green Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thanks Martyn But no-one selling short lengths. I have emiled brake manufacturers, and local garages with no luck so far. I have emails the company on the link lookiing for off cuts, but I dont need 3.2m, and the price gets very high only to cut 6" off the end.

Wingman Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Andy - B&Q do aluminium tubing that is a sliding fit inside the next size up i.e. 6mm OD fits inside 8mm OD fits inside 10mm OD (1mm wall thickness). The tubing I got in a brake pipe replacement kit was copper or maybe a alloy mostly copper but pretty soft and easily bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
001 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Most model suppliers and bigger shops have a stand of K&S metals tubing, square and round and sheet in brass and aluminium in various sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
