Where to find flexible metal tubing
 

Hi Chris W

There are some Machinest's Tools that include stalks that can be bent to
various positions. I suspect those parts would be expensive.

The reason I am looking for the corrugated tubing is so it will stay where
I put it. It is for a small LED lamp. 1/4" dia is about as big as it
needs to be.

Take a trip to your local Home Depot or Lowes - plumbing dept.
Look for a "coil" of copper tubing - have them show you various sizes.
Though it's not corrugated, it is flexible - and you can use compression
fittings - or - soldered fittings with threads.
Makes for good 2-meter quad elements. use larger sizes for more
bandwidth
smaller sizes are more flexible, of course - what size are you looking
for?

Sorry for the of topic post but I don't know where to ask and it is my
experience that people who build their own antennas can be rather
resourceful.

I'm not sure of the correct terminology to use but I have been trying to
find some "corrugated" metal tubing with threaded attachments on the
ends. Kind of like item 50035A661 from McMaster.com web site. The
problem with the one on McMaster web site is they are larger than I want
and I am hoping to find something with a more standard machine screw
thread too. Thanks for the help.
