You can bend 1/4" tube pretty easy without a bender. Get some of the 3003 Versatube. You can buy a foot or two real cheap from either Spruce or Wicks.

I have plenty of 3/8" tube and a bender to suit. If it were to use 1/4" I'd have to source it and a bender as well!! I was planning on making a nice tip to press fit in the 3/8" tube, to reduce the inlet size and make it look a little nicer. Would this give the same results as the 1/4" tube installation?? Would the static work the same in 3/8" tube as it does with 1/4" tube?? Gavin
