Best place to get a small piece of Aluminium tube?


Recommended Posts

I'm looking to buy a small length of 35mm OD aluminium tube to join 2 radiator hoses together - I only need about 6 inches length, but I'll buy more if I need to.

Where's the best place to get it from in wellington area? I can't tell if any of the metal suppliers will do such small quantities. I could probably order it from aliexpress but I need it this weekend ideally. Any ideas where to start, or should I just ring around  and see?

cheers

I have been looking for the same size 

does it need the bead rolled onto it to hold rad hose properly ? 

Bunnings do alloy tubes and angles in 1m or 3m sticks not sure if they do tube up to 35mm?

yes Aliex has the joiners cheap as

Ullrich came through as they are open Saturday morning,  I ran out of time on Friday and couldn't get down to Mico. 

Ended up buying 2.5 metres of tube as it was way cheaper than I though it would be, so I've got some spare for future projects :) 

Will update my project thread soon
