High octane Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Your local hobby shop may have an Plastruct rack that I believe has clear tubing and or rod if I recall correctly. Check it out, or go to Plastruct's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) .026" ID clear flexible (I assume you want flexible for "detailing") tubing is going to be tough to find. There aren't many uses for something like that.That's only 26 one-thousandths of an inch for your inside diameter.Here's clear polyurethane tubing, .025" ID with a .040" OD, made for medical experimentation. The product number is MRE 040.36 feet is $54.http://www.braintreesci.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MRE040Scroll down to page 4 of the PDF. http://www.braintreesci.com/images/MRE.pdf Edited June 24, 2017 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CometMan Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 You might try an electronics store for heat shrink tubing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Does it have to be tubing (i.e., hollow)? I'd be willing to be you can find some clear monofilament fishing line about that size.You can also heat-stretch clear styrene sprue to whatever diameter you want. Getting it exactly to your desired dimension will probably take some practice, and you'll probably make several unsuitable pieces for every usable one you produce, but the price is right and it doesn't require any special equipment or unique skill.

It would be nice I have some RB Motion fittings that are used for Williams F1 kit. Trying to adapt those fitting on a Ferrari Kit. All the photos I have seen Ferrari used a clear tubing on there fuel system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to adapt those fitting on a Ferrari Kit. All the photos I have seen Ferrari used a clear tubing on there fuel systemUsing a solid material, like nylon monofilament suggested above, would allow you to easily color it to match what's on your reference photos (most of the old "clear" hoses are translucent or yellowish). Adapting the fittings you have is simply a matter of measuring the OD of your "hose" material, and drilling the ends of your fittings to accept it....and this is a lot easier than you might think.

Dodge Driver Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Looks like 0.028 monofilament line and a number 69 (0.0292) drill or reamer will be in the ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Check through the jewelry working section of your nearest craft/hobby store. They use a semi-clear (a bit foggy, not crystal clear) tubing for jewelry work. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
