Re-Tubing
2 parcels arrived today:
1st from specialtech - 4 x g1/4 attachments and a meter of uv tubing. First thing that struck me, this tubings small, and VERY stiff. not overly impressed at all but i thought it`ll do till i get the new MB and get everything arranged so i can replace the whole tubing and connections and make it all uniform and tidy with 45 degree bends ect.
This stuff really is tiny, the pen next to it is a TIGHT fit to get into the tube, thats how thin it is. I ordered 8mm (5/16) ID / 11mm (7/16) OD thinking it would be not much difference to my existing 9 ID / 12 OD. I was wrong.
Reason for all the connections are i intended to use the 2 barbs to hold 2 x 5mm UV leds and epoxy them in as they cost me 50p + 1.29 for 5 Leds. compared to the £5.99 for the clear bung + led (times 2).
