Last time I checked, Tim Mara at Wings and Wheels had all the colors under
the rainbow if you're in the US (and judging by SAE dimensions I would guess
that's where you are). www.wingsandwheels.com

If Tim is out, McMaster-Carr has more materials and colors than you could
use in a lifetime. Start around page 83 of the online catalog.

I'm having a bit of trouble finding some clear but
slightly red-tinted (not opaque) 3/16" I.D. instrument tubing.
Anyone know of a source for that? I only need about 12 feet.

Is possible to dye clear vinyl tubing?

Thanks,
John

The colored tubing from these two sources is opaque. Transparent
but tinted is preferable if you want to see water in the tubes...
Thanks,
Best Regards, Dave

My aircraft has colored tubing that was ordered from Tim Mara
(wingsandwheels.com) several years ago. It is Translucent, (Not
Opaque). But perhaps he is unable to get the Translucent any more.
Email him and ask, if he doesn't jump in here.
