where can i buy brass tubes that are not already cut to size? Say like 12" long or so. Thanks.
IF you are measuring to replace tubes, going by the "hole size" will not get you there, from here.
Measure the OD of the tubing that SHOULD be used, precisely. Then look for that size. THEN look at wall thickness, as was mentioned.
"Close enough" will result in crappy pens.
"Precisely correct" will be difficult to find.
Good luck in your pursuits!!
The problem with using a thicker tube is the amount of blank that will be covering it . Most pens don't have allot of thickness left to the ends of the blanks and a thicker tube will leave even less .
