This is the best that I can do on my phone.

I used this on the 1/18 Mini. 7mm diameter.
Stock #107 9/32 x .014 Rd Alum Tube



Used this on the 1/24 Mini. 4.5mm diameter.
Stock #104 3/16 x .014 Rd Alum Tube



This looks perfect for a 1/43. 3mm diameter.
Stock # 1022 1/8 x .014 (3.18mm x .355mm) Rd Alum Tube
3 legnths in a pack.




All the lables on it are from K&S Engineering Chicago IL.

ls400 is road legends ( really shit model from the early 90's but it'll do)
ls430 is motormax

autoart and motormax do a handful of newer ones and the gay convertible one too lol
