|  Looking for a tubing source
Well after searching here and online I am having trouble finding a good source for steel tubing. I have previously been using brake line but I'm really sick of sanding off all the new poly coating, and only getting it in 5 ft lengths. I searched a lot on Mcmaster and couldnt find a decent cheaper looking tubing. I did find what seems pretty good and with a nice price on Fastenal. http://www.fastenal.com/web/products...0950777&ucst=t. This should work fine for building a tuber I hope   If anyone has any other suggestions or sources please let me know.  |

McMaster Carr has some good stuff. I just made some straight links with this stuff. Definitely not as cheap as Fastenal but good stuff http://www.mcmaster.com/#8457k28/=6rlezm Last edited by treday619; 04-21-2010 at 11:38 PM. | |

Advance Auto gets me uncoated 3/16" brake line in 25' rolls. I thing they charge about $15 per roll. I pay less due to having a commercial account with them.

I get mine in a roll too, they just sell it by the metre. Entertaining to watch them measure a circle  |

Stick the tube rolls in a 6" vise and it will straighten out in any length you want.

It looks like I am gonna go with Advanced Auto 25' roll for like $35. Was hoping for a little higher quality tubing, not sure if 304 SS would really braze up as easy as brakeline.
