Sparks Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Hi, can anyone suggest a supplier for brass tubing and rod, specifically 10mm O/D and 6mm O/D brass tube or rod? I've looked on ebay, but most suppliers seem to be in the far east. Thanks, Sparks Edited May 28, 2022 by Sparks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatMc Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 JPerkins stock KS tube etc but if they don't supply retail there's Leeds Model Shop who do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 I bought some 8mm o/d and 6mm i/d on ebay for a u/c but a lot of drilling and filing was needed because you cannot fit a 6mm rod into a 6mm hole unless you are lucky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Robson Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Metal smith Leeds are a good source of brass tubing, they are mainly model railway and model engineering but if you scroll down under materials near the bottom of the page is brass tube.

Simon Clark Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Maccs do quite a few options for brass tube:https://maccmodels.co.uk/product-category/materials/brass-sections/brass-tubes/ Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad_flyer Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 Free flight supplies do tube in sizes that slide together, but just looked and they only go to 4mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparks Posted May 28, 2022 Author Share Posted May 28, 2022 Thanks for the prompt replies folks. Macc Models seems the best option as they stock the sizes I need and prices are reasonable. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
