Any body know where I can get hold of some silicone tubing?

sizes: 6mm O/Dia x 3mm inside Dia & 5mm O/Dia  x 2.5 inside dia.

Looked on e-bay but only sell in 5 / 10 meter lengths. Only require about a 600mm (2ft)  length  at the most.

Towerhobbies.com sells silicone fuel line tubing meant for RC planes and such, but it works beautifully with steam engine applications.

Yes just go to any hobby shop that sells RC car, boat or plans that run on methanol and they will sell silicon fuel line.
