Windscreen wiper tube "bundy tube"?

[simon]

I need a short section of tube for my wipers. It's the tube that the "spring" runs in that operates the wheel boxes. Can anyone tell me where I can buy some and have the ends flared?
Thanks
Simon

Try Andy Burroughs at Gardner Douglas Sports Cars - he just did some for me.

I think I've got some spare lengths, I'll have a look t/morrow. How much do you need?

Its easy to flare yourself, I did it with a large screwdriver by rotating it in the end of the tube.

Simon,

go to your nearest plumbing stockist, and ask for 1 metre of 8mm microbore copper ,should only cost £1 max (i had mine given to me :7 )..it fits a treat

I think it is 3/8 " dia. therefore you can use the same pipe as
the fuel (ie copper)

I have completed my wipers and mounted the motor against the LHS windscreen
support. which ment I had to shorted the first tube and reflared it with the
pipe flare tool I bought for the fuel/brake lines.
I did end up reversing the crack to make the wipers part on the RHS.

Best of luck

Steve
