Fresh water sailor Posted May 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2020 I acquired two Atesania Latina kits. The Hellen RC which I have finished. This was my first Build and I really enjoyed it. The second AL kit I have is the Amsterdam modern tugboat. The Amsterdam unlike the Hellen was started by the previous owner. This was from an estate sale so the previous owner can’t help me. I have two important parts missing. I need 1 stuffer tube (AL calls it a horn?) the critical dimension is 6mm I.d. ( 0.236” for us Stubborn Americans) For the bronze bearings. And 240mm (9 3/8”) long. Also the rudder shat housing tube (AL calls it the rudder horn) with a 4mm I.d. (0.158”) and 1.86” long. the O.D. On these parts is not critical. I haven’t drilled any holes yet. the box was opened and the kit started and those two parts probably (that bag was opened and loose) fell out of a 2” what looks like a mouse hole. Anyone have an idea for a source for these two important parts? mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury S Posted May 24, 2020 Share #2 Posted May 24, 2020 Look at Hobby Lobby or Michaels or even Ace hardware. They often carry a selection of KS brand brass tubing.

Roger Pellett Posted May 24, 2020 Share #3 Posted May 24, 2020 This tubing also comes in metric sizes. Look on Amazon. mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBlack Posted May 24, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 24, 2020 I don't know how critical your dimensions need to be, but check at www.onlinemetals.com mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr PR Posted May 25, 2020 Share #5 Posted May 25, 2020 McMaster-Carr is an excellent source for tubing, sheet, special shapes, fasteners, materials, tools and much more: https://www.mcmaster.com/ The prices are usually better than hobby suppliers.

allanyed Posted May 25, 2020 Share #6 Posted May 25, 2020 I am with Phil on using MC as a source whenever possible as they are usually MUCH less expensive than a hobby shop and have a much wider selection of sizes and materials.

Roger Pellett Posted May 25, 2020 Share #7 Posted May 25, 2020 I’ve bought stuff from Online Metals too. In the past, good reliable company. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
