Unusual request on tube size

[Dale Allen]

I have a situation where I would like to use a brass tube that is .488" ID
I have calculated that the probable OD would be about .510"
Also, the drill bit would most likely be a 33/64" or 13.3mm

Now, I see the Olympian Pen kit calls for this drill bit size.
Any chance someone has one of these kits and can check the ID of the larger tube?
If not I can always order a tube on my next supply order.

Thanks all.

Dale

According to the Pen Kit Bushings and Tubes article in the library on page 10, the ID is 0.494 and the OD is 0.510

Thanks Monty, was afraid of that.
I had not thought that such info would have been on that library page so I did not even go there.
That will be a bit too big I'm afraid.
It has to be spot on as it is the size needed for the nylon insert for the Electra socket.
