I am searching for brass tube

[Fresh water sailor]

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?

Look at Hobby Lobby or Michaels or even Ace hardware.  They often carry a selection of KS brand brass tubing.

This tubing also comes in metric sizes.  Look on Amazon.

I don't know how critical your dimensions need to be, but check at www.onlinemetals.com

McMaster-Carr is an excellent source for tubing, sheet, special shapes, fasteners, materials, tools and much more:

The prices are usually better than hobby suppliers.

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.

I’ve bought stuff from Online Metals too. In the past, good reliable company.
