braided tubing help

Something Else · 23 Dec 2013 at 11:11

Saw somthing a while back where someone had put braiding on their tubing and imo it looked great.

Has anyone done this? I want to give it a go but need to know how its done

I imagine you would havr thr braid going into a compression fitting and the compression ring holding the braid on the tube?

Can you find a picture at all? Do you mean the anti kink wires for tubes? O_o

On phone atm so no pic.
Braided tubing, basically normal water cooling tubing with a braid over the top like how cables are braided.

Edit. Pic below

Ah I see, yeah that looks pretty slick I must admit. I would imagine you just get some decent sized paracord and give it a go..basically just sliding the tubing through it and locking it into a compression fitting.

you want to search for tube sleeving in google to find places that sell it but it's not easy stuff to find i know techflex does this kind of stuff (not specifically for tubing just general sleeving) but wouldn't know where to buy smaller amounts

12mm braiding should work for 3/8" tubing

Ebay

That seller has a lot of braid in his shop, gonna order some of the black I think, the red/black looks a bit tacky. Might also order some black and silver

MDPC-X sell sleeving for WC tube IIRC.

Also, where would you find paracord thick enough to go over a tube? I only have the 4mm stuff.
