    Default Brass square tubing

    Looking for a small length of brass square tubing
    8mm outer - 6mm inner.
    Did not think it would be hard to find but wearing my fingers out on
    the phone and using plenty of petrol driving around.
    Need it for small sleeves inside coffee machine knobs.
    Anyone ? Anywhere ?

    Have you tried www.georgewhite.com.au

    I realise that it’s on the other side of Melbourne from you, but they might know of someone closer to you.

    You have a job ahead of you, the sizes between 6.4mm & 12mm don't exist, there's plenty smaller or bigger.

    These mobs pull up just short of what you want.

    These mobs start just a bit bigger that you want.

    This mob also a bit big & they don't square.

    Thank your for your responses - I have followed them up without success, however I may be in luck at the Victorian Hobby Centre at 21 Swanston St
    in Melbourne. I did try to get there on Thursday but the tram service was terminated in Fitzroy owing to a truck rollover and I had to return home
    as I had a busy day ahead. Will try again shortly.
