Thanks for the link, I found some tubing on ebay but not sure if the ID would be correct for the 8-32nd all thread?

Aluminum tubing 1/4" OD x 0.180 ID

SS tubing 1/4"OD x 0.152

Will either of the work? if not what does the ID of the tubing need to be?

1/4" od with .035 wall thickness Is perfect, but want to say the .180 is right and .152 is to small but you could tap that and thread for 8-32. I believe the answer is in the link I'm just trying to go from memory.

#8-32 thread max. OD is 0.164" so the 0.180" ID tubing is what you need. Not too sure if the 1/4" OD stainless with 0.152" ID is the "standard" size but it should also be available in 0.180" ID.

The 0.152" ID tubing is not quite small enough diameter for tapping IMHO. The thread minor diameter is 0.142" and although only 0.010" smaller than the tubing ID, that means only about 50% thread engagement.
