4silverado Posted December 20, 2020 I'm a diabetic and use a dial-a-pen for my insulin. One of the parts to the needle (which is normally just thrown away) is just right for exhaust tips. They are 5/32 inch diameter X 9/16 inch long. They look good when painted with a Molotow pen. I used one of the larger caps for an air cleaner on a RM Crusader motorcycle.

4silverado Posted December 21, 2020 I was going to use the wheels & tires from the 99 Silverado on a Jeep J10, but I needed to step the axle size from 5/32 down to 3/32. Oddly enough, one of those tips is the correct size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4silverado Posted December 21, 2020 I also used a section as a coil spring. Injector stacks, off road shocks, Coke cans. I started collecting them earlier this year. I've got a decent supply that is growing daily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bills72sj Posted January 13 I use these. Real metal, hollow and to scale. What more could you ask for. Available at my LHS which sell RC planes and cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuces ll Posted January 17 You could also cut up a boom box antenna with a tube cutter... I think those are made from chrome plated brass tubing... I save old junk like that...?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
