Quick and easy question.

Where can I get the tube that is used to bleed brakes/clutch? I went into auto stores asking but they pointed me to some tool, I just want the tube, it should cost lik $.50 but cant find one, and dont know where to get one.

where can I get one that will fit good?

Go to home depot. You should look at the nipple on the bleeder screw first to get the right size. I want to say 1/8" interior diameter, but I'm not sure.

I think it was near the plumbing section. It's just clear plastic tubing. I'm sure its meant for something else so they won't know what you're talking about if you ask for brake bleeding tubing. You will probably have to get much more than you need, but it shouldn't be too expensive anyway.

I just found mine. the tag says clear vinyl tubing. It's 1/4" outside diameter and 0.17" inside diameter. It came in a 10 ft long piece.

funny you say that at work, a friend of mine (drives a del sol) suggested getting one of the catheter tubes and use that but they looked a little small.

You can use vacuum hose, get a foot at any auto parts store.
