Rigid Hose 3mm - where to find very long segments?

[DrJB]

Working on a gbc that calls for very long segments of the 3mm rigid hose. The longest ever made by TLG was 75c63 and appeared in a spongebob set. Question is: does anyone know of an alternative ... where one can buy a compatible part by the meter (or foot) ?

I've bought similar (not from this seller) and it has worked well for me.

Go to your train and model shop and you can buy it at the meter.

Hi do a search for rigid airline tubing, in the UK it is about £13 for 25 Metres.

I bought a load of this at 3mm, the issue is that the Lego stuff is a little bigger so the clutch on the 3mm is not as good, may not be an issue but thought it was pointing out
