1936Forepoint 6 Report post #1 Posted November 19, 2019 Hi, I have seen mention on this site to brass water tubes yet I can't find a supplier that markets them. Has anyone used a brass water tube? Does anyone have a source? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone used a brass water tube? Does anyone have a source? Thanks A couple of years ago, there was someone on Ebay selling NOS brass water distribution tubes, but I did a quick search on Ebay just now and couldn't find any brass ones. Doing a search of the forum archives should bring up the seller's name and if they are still there, you might get lucky enough to find them. I seem to remember them being pricey - something like $150 each. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Well, that's unfortunate. However, I suspect that with good care, the galvanized steel tubes will probably last many, many years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
