Tony and Steve,
I ordered the teflon tubing exactly as Tony mentioned in his e-mail and
received it today from Master Carr.
My fit was also too easy - no need for slitting the tube so I suppose I got
the wrong tube as there will be some play.
What I received was quite different although the Catalogue Nr was correct
on the invoice: 5335 K17
but the dimensions where different: 0.066" ID x 0.090" OD; 0.012" wall.
(in your mail it read 100/1000 " OD and 1/16 ID)
As pin I used 1/16" stain steel 308 L welding rod which seems to be quite
soft compared to the original pin.
Please let me now as soon you have figuered out the right material as I am
not convinced that I shall use what I have received...
Thanks and greetings from Vienna
Klaus
