Which 7030 tube from Cousins UK?

[ldegeneve]

I'm building a 5513 with an old school MBW case. I have a gen 703 crown. Wondering which length tube I should get.

5.2mm? or 6.2mm?

Thanks for any help!

I've been using the wholesaleoutlet tubes lately and they measure 6.2mm long. Had good luck with them.

With an MBW case, the key is to run the tap thru the case- hopefully the hole is big enough- I busted a tap in a 16610 MBW case- hole was too small!

Drilling with a 2.65mm drill bit would help, but it's an uncommon size.

talking about taps, I have a 1655 case that I am turning into a 1675 and tube broke inside the case, can I use a tap and if so which tap number and where to get one. thanks

The 1655 rep uses a 6.0mm crown, so you need the 3.0mm x .35 tap. Look around, because someone mentioned a place to get the tap for around $10- just can't remember the name of the place.
