Hi,

Recently purchased a used Simplex loco, only to find rubber hose has been used to connect the side tank outlets to the axle driven feed pump.

Does anyone know where I can buy hose that will slide on 5/16" copper tube with about 1/8" wall thickness?

Many thanks

Les

B & Q sell clear plastic hose that should fit.. 6mm id warmed up should fit.. also sells coloured if you need it to match

Thanks, walked round my local B & Q 2 or 3 times yesterday, couldn't find any plastic tube.

Cheers

You might find something appropriate at Demon Tweeks, or any motorsport dealer.

You might try Halfords for windscreen washer tube.

Try near where they keep the free length chains / security chains / hoses, that's where my local store has it… tends to be down on floor level… or…

Machine Mart .. air hose

Halfords… vacuum hose – 5mm

Hi Les,
Last year I bought some 6mm silicone rubber tube from this seller on ebay. This pushes over 8mm tube OK. the tube I bought was clear but he lists it in black as well.

This company seemed to have a good range on their stand at Sandown MEX.
