Thanks David

Indeed the Kopex site is good.

Perhaps I should have said '< 10 mm OD' rather than '

It's 12mm diameter aluminium tube actually, I've got 2 bundles in the garage.

It's not something I've seen anywhere other than at trade alarm suppliers, but at least you now know what you're searching for. ;)

You can get small bore Al tubing IIRC sold for use as hydraulic brake pipes. Its certainly used in car aircons as well.
