Hi, does anyone know where you can get ally tubing suitable for carrying charge air to/from intercoolers etc.?

My cunning and subtle plan is to use lengths of ally tube where i can to save on the costs of silicon hose. The tube needs to be about 60mm OD (plus/minus 5mm), I don't want it polished (which is what i've found so far - seems a bit stupid to me to pay more for polished tube and then shot blast it to get the look i want).

Any thoughts on this very much appreciated

Do you have any metal stockists locally? I find it's very handy to be able to pop round and collect what you need, and that doesn't sound like an unusual size.

Merlin motorsport sell it, if you want a named company. www.merlinmotorsport.com/index.php?cPath=1995_1998 (warning, their web site is DOG slow nowadays)
Finding a local stockist is your best bet though.
