Brass Tube

[Neil WyattModerator @neilwyatt]

Seeking 3/8" O/D brass tube with a 1/16" (or 0.065&quot wall diameter.

The usual suspects only seem to stock 0.035" wall tube.

Sadly google gets confused by the fractions as most sites stock 3/8" AND 1/4" OD tube, but with thin walls.

I found one source in the US! There must be a UK source as I have a small piece in my workshop.

Ideally as a cheap (it doesn't need to be super long lasting) alternative to oilite bushes.

There are tubes designed to fit into one another – probably what you were finding. If you soldered one inside another using whitemetal if it wore through the bearing properties would improve.

.

Might get better results if you specify wall thickness
