Can someone measure a wing tube for me please????

[Caine]

Can someone accurately measure the length of an RC10 wing tube for me please, both sets i have are wedged into the bulkheads and i fear damaging them if thet are pulled out with to much force!

Thankyou

The wing tube's diameter is 3/16" or close to 5mm.

The wing tube's length is 2-3/64" or around 52mm.

I wouldn't worry about damaging them when you pull them out. Use a cloth in between the pliers and tube if you're afraid of leaving tool marks on them. I didn't need to do this, however, I am going to clean, polish and seal mine before I re-install them.

there are 2 different length wing tubes, depending on which bulkhead you have.

The tubes I mentioned are for the cadillac era car/ A stamp car.

I need the later ones please, team car etc

Thanks for taking the time to measure yours for me, mine are really really wedged in to the bulkheads, i have tried in vain to remove them!

This set is for my old is new car which has a protech body and rpm bulkhead if that makes any difference for length etc?

if you can take the tower off the bulkhead, and you have a drill, you can chuck the tubing in the drill chuck and wiggle/twist the chuck and bulkhead, the tubes should come out without marring up the tubing.

you are basically using the drill chuck as a 'handle' and the three jaws prevents you from marring up the tubing or collapsing it.

wing tubes are tight at times and are just pressed into bulkhead . Try putting the bulkhead and tubes in boilng water that should free them up. But if you mess them up try these.

I wish someone would reply to my battery strap thread. Yeah - off-topic. But I'm now sorta jealous that this thread is getting more attention than the simple question that I asked for.

Try posting in the wanted thread. I just looked in the parts box I have and no strap or I would send it to ya for free.

Thank you for your feedback.

the long tubes on the first run bulkhead is about 2.4" long. Close enough for the application.

the link above from tower on the 3/16" tubing is a direct fit.

I doubt very much i would of thought of those ways to remove them!
