Hi,



I'm wanting to do the Outrigger Pivot Bearing mod in accordance with the Europa Club procedure.  To do this I need some stainless steel tube with 0.375" outside diameter, 0.3125" inside diameter (a sliding fit for an AN5 bolt).



I seem to have drawn a blank in finding any of this over in the UK.  I only need about 6" of it.  Does anyone who has done this mod have any of this tube lying around spare?  If you do, can you drop me a line please?



Regards,



Phil

Karl,



Yes, I know about the overseas shipment problem.  That is why I offered to purchase the tubing and send it on to him.  



I have a standing offer to all outside the U.S. to purchase and forward on any goods they can not purchase and have sent directly.



Best regards,

Bob

Phil & Raimo,



I've been looking for a source for your SS tubing. 



So far, only McMaster carries 3/8" (0.375) OD x 5/16" (0.3125) ID (wall thickness 1/16" 0.03125) stainless steel tubing in stock.  And it is expensive.



There are plenty of places that have stainless steel tubing that is 3/8 OD but with a wall thickness of 0.035. For instance, Aircraft Spruce has 304 SS tubing in those diameter for only $3.35/ft.  Do either of you have a lathe available to drill/ream your short length to the proper interior diameter?



My offer still stands to purchase the stock from McMaster or any other other U.S. source and ship it on to you.



Check six,

Bob Borger

I've found onlinemetals.com, recently acquired by ThyssenKrupp NA, to  

be an excellent source for small quantities of specialty metals and  

plastics. They sell a 0.375" OD, 0.028" wall, 0.319" ID...SS 304/304L  

tube (at) $3.78/ft. It is also available in SS 316/316L (at) $4.38/ft.



..can't help but wonder if such tubing may have been used in the  

original mod if evidence of extraordinary expense for material or  

special machining is lacking...
