Wanted 16mm O/D ali tube
Hi
Has anyone got an off cut of 16mm outside dia aluminium tube that I could buy? I only need a small amount to finish off my cooling pipes.
Or does anyone know where the best place to get some is in North Essex / Suffolk border?
Cheers
Rich

Just a thought

Yes, but then I can't Tig weld it to my other ali pipe - as I need to create a "T" joint.

I need 32mm main O/D with the t being 16mm. Sounds like you might have exactly what I need - how much do you want for it? But I may prefer to weld a
tee onto the pipe I already have. I'll also check out B&Q - good idea that!

Tent poles can be ali. The swaged end of a 19 mm pole is 16.5 for 50mm.
Camping shops usually sell spares, or I've got one you can have.

You might when I tell you what I paid for them - £20 + vat.
They are nice and shiny though
