Thanks Dermo

I used 1.4mm dia. brass tube for the core barrels and then matched up the plastic tubes by eye until everything looked about right. I also put additional smaller plastic centering tubes inside each end of the larger plastic tubes to hold the brass central.

The largest diameter plastic tubes are 5mm dia. and the ones that telescope inside are around 3.5mm dia.

 

Hope that helps 

 

Nice one Phil, thanks - got one in the stash to build and improve some day so need all the advice I can get!

Cheers.

At least you've got a pristine one to work with as opposed to my pre-mutilated one
