    Hey guys, im working on my car at the moment and im looking for some clear plastic tubing! It cant be a pipe, it has to be solid.

    Heres some pics of what im looking for!

    Any ideas? Ive tried my local hardware store and they had nothing, ive tried woodies DIY, and they were clueless!

    They can be used for shutters to open and close them. Also it doesnt have to be a hex shape, it can be a circle

    Cheers

    reD.

    redice, get those pics up again....

    I have access to clear 1/4" outer diameter pneumatic tubing , if thats any good to you. It's made of teflon. Theres also some 6mm stuff knocking around here but its thick walled and hard to find, but the 1/4" stuff is a plenty. How much you need?
    What are you using it for?

    AA are about 14mm in diameter. This stuff I have is all 1/4". I'll have a root around and see if I can get some of the size you require but I ouldn't hold my breath.

    Alternatively, this stuff I can get is all for pneumatics. If you go to a company called SMC in the CityWest Business park, they are specialist in pneumatic tubing and fittings. You can buy over the trade counter there. Have a look at their web site and see if they have what you need. I would think they do.
