Thread: Where to buy plastic tubes for third pin?

Anyone know of a place to buy some black plastic tubes that I can cut for using on the inside of the scales for a third pin?

I recently took apart a razor with a third pin and lost that plastic tube and need to find something for a replacement.

Thanks in advance!

Do you have any dimensions? Maybe someone can hook you up......

The problem is not is the finding of it, but in the buying of a small quantity...

Here is some of this page

If you can find clear, you can make black. Just use some Rit dye. It will dye a lot of plastics. I've used it on some clear 10/22 mags on guns I've customized for friends to make them match. Another option, depending on size is to find a seller of plastic body piercing jewelry. You may be able to find tunnels in the right size and just cut/sand any flares off.

I've used bodymodern.com off and on over the past 8 years with no problems. His prices also can't be beat bodymodern.com/tunnelsuv.html

I have a fair assortment of plastic tubes. They are used for tying tube fishing flies and are available in several colors and diameters. If I knew the size I would see if I have any that would work.

approx 1/16 - 5/64 ID and 1/8 - 3/16 OD

I have .080 id x .125 od in a rigid clear tube and several colors (black,red, translucent blue, red, green, orange, yellow, purple) in semi-rigid tube that is slightly larger id. The pieces are 4 to 5 inches long.

I also have some bigger and some smaller, but I think this is closest to the right size.

Is there a link we can order some from, or a name we should look for at the Sports shop?????

PM me your address and I'll send you some pieces to try out. They're easy to find online "tube fly tubes".
