Morning all,

Any one know where I can get five sets of Atrax FP/RB tubes? Turners retreat are diseased and non operational at the moment, shut by the virus. I ordered some from them but only one of the tubes turned up, the cap tube, I'm after the body tube and cant get hold of TR to tell them of the short delivery.

I bought these kits many years ago and made about 20 of them and successfully sold them, the five I have left I took the tubes out with the aim of cutting the wood and gluing them up and in the process the kits and the tubes became separated. I lost them!!!

Any help much appreciated.

What size are they Neil. The actual size, not the drill size.

Phil,

Thanks, been away for a while, a long story. Actually a short story about an idiot!!! After literally ten years missing, and me posting the above, I found the bag in which I had put the lost tubes after I had painted them black as I had intended to use acrylics with them.

So they turned up!

Still dont know what size the tubes are! But I have ordered an old fashioned hand cranked vernier caliper as the slidy battery thingys keep failing me!

Thanks anyway!
