Need at least 6 push rod tubes, for two 33 engines. One sprang a leak, and I found two had rusted through, and the others do not look very healthy. So I swapped the engine for one I had kept from a scrapped 33. Now that ones tubes have also rotted and are leaking. Its not the seals at the ends, I had replaced them when I rebuilt the engine not long before that car sadly met its end. Dafhobby dont seem to have any, so I have investigated using VW tubes, but they are about 10mm shorter, and larger diameter, so I dont think they will fit into the Daf block/head recepticles.

@nick the man with a daf.... (rottie) The push rod tubes for a Daf 33 are 20cm (8inches) long, as they came off the engine, but does not look like it in the pic.. If previously used tubes are used again, they should be stretched a little, about 5mm each end to provide pressure to the sealing rings. The tubes are 18mm diameter. There is a part number printed on them, 220508. You can see the holes where this one has rotted through, the others are similar.
I do not need any now, Andrew was good enough to send some. Thanks anyway.
