Default Gauge glass tubing

Does anyone have any 5/8in dia gauge glass tube, at least 14ins long? I need a piece for a water level gauge on the back tank of the Foden Agritractor. Thanks.

John., just a suggestion. If it is only for cold water have a look at clear plastic tubing. They make that in all sizes , B&Q sell it in various sizes and of course it will not shatter if knocked.

I expect either Craftmaster or Heritage will. It's a standard size.

Thanks all. I am aware of Craftsmaster and Heritage Steam but was hoping to find something cheaper. I will try J B Treasure tomorrow.

Thanks Joe, you're right of course. I must have got my wires crossed because I found a price of £20 odd, and thought it too much.
OK, panic over,

Thanks for the very useful offer Mr Churchward. We don't know who you are so I will PM you and perhaps find out.
