Hi
Does anyone know where I can get the stainless steel tube needed to do the standard outrigger bearing mod (LAA mod 10661 - on the club website) in the UK ?
Thanks

I'd like to know too. I brought what I thought was the right sizes to do this mod but one wouldnt fit in the other.

Roddy & Greame,
I have no idea where you can find it in the UK, but it's available from McMaster-Carr here on this side of the pond.
McMaster has this and only this:
MaterialType 440C Stainless SteelShapeStructural TubesStructural Tube TypePlain RoundStructural Tube TolerancePrecision-GroundOutside Dia.3/8" (.375")Outside Dia. Tolerance-.0002"Inside Dia.5/16" (.3125")Inside Dia. Tolerance+.0002"Length6"Length Tolerance±.01"RockwellC50-C55Specifications MetAmerican Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)ASTM SpecificationASTM A276
[img]cid:E5BE8B38-BA4A-4346-AFD3-56A4A5B825F3[/img]
for a price of $99.74 + shipping. That's UKŁ64.50 + shipping. Whooeee, I don't remember that it cost that much several years ago when I did the mod, but that's what it is now.
You can go to McMaster.com and search on Stainless Steel Tubing.
On that page you can specify the OD and ID which will bring up the above.
A 6 inch length should be sufficient for at least 2 mods so it isn't quite as painful to the purse if you share.
You may order it directly from McMaster or if you wish, I'll be glad to order the tubing and forward it on to either of you. Once I know the end costs after shipping, you can post it to my PayPal account. Hopefully the import tariff on your end won't be a killer.

Graeme
If it should turn out that Chronos have the material but only in expensive
minimum quantities then I will be carrying out the Mod at some point and
would be happy to share costs.
Thanks

Roddy / Graeme,
I did get some tube for this mod but it was slightly wrong when it arrived although it was fine after being turned down on a lathe.
Er, I'm not sure what I did with the rest (I had to buy 1 metre) but I'll have a look. I may have donated it to my place of work so I'll have a fish around there.

Roddy / Graeme,
I believe that I've found the stainless tubing offcut that I used for this. Can you remind me of the ID and OD so that I can measure it and check. I do remember having to turn one diameter down on a lathe but I can't remember which one.
Regards,
Phil

Phil,
Stainless Tube (0.375”outsidediameter,0.3125”insidediameter) The inside of the stainless tube is the critical dimension so that it provides a sliding fit for the AN5 bolt. A slightly larger outer diameter is acceptable which will require a larger hole in the OR1.

If you can use it I have bunches of Chrome Molly tube 10 x 1,0 = 0,393 OD x 0,315 ID.
Free of charge for these little bits.
