Q. for Aussies

Let me state first that i would rather buy something from a shop than online.

Ok, i would like to know where to get various sized O-rings and metal tube.

This is probably not the case for tubes (or maybe it is) but i need springs tubes and o rings of various sizes from time to time and i was wondering if the sold these products in a boxes like this...

Something like this ???

you can get these at repco and super cheap etc .. different sizes and prices .

with your 'tube' what sizes are you looking for ? small / large , copper / ally ? what area are you ?

Good find on the Springs too i've been chasing something like that to put in the shed

bunnings stocks springs of different sizes in a box set but o-ring they have all sepert. also have small dia pipe but not a large selection. you can go to a hobby shop that sells rc cars and boats they usually have telecopic tubing

cool, thanks for the info on the o rings man, hmm.... do i recall seeing a repco anywhere....

and for the tubes, they are for various valves n' such, so small! im talking 2mm ID and up. and they can be ally, copper, brass, steel..... any thing rly.. maybe it would be better if i had all types

but i dont think i need that.

I know you asked for offline, but http://www.smallparts.com.au/store/categories/ has what you require. Including 4.53mm ID thick wall brass perfect for barrels.

yeah man hobby shops are the go for small di. tubes .. they have a stand full of different sizes and lengths and a lot of them telescope really well, i think i had 3to 4 pipes inside of eachother

lol how much ?? i bet that hurt

also chinnerz i found springs really aren't that expensive to get made if you need one for that special purpose and just cant find the right one. (probably not small springs but for say a air rifle spring

) the only problem is there's usually a min $$ (not bad ) but you might end up with a couple for the price of 1 if you know what i mean
