where to find 50mm resevoir tube

[jojo69]

Sidewinder was my go to...their stock seems to have fallen on hard times,

Top hits are frozen CPU, ummmm, no

after that google is failing me, I need a 50mm tube 60mm long, halp

Any particular brand, threaded or compression, etc?
performance-pcs has lots of tubes, but doesn't look like they have any 50mm diameter tubes.
Amazon has lots of tubes, if you don't mind possibly needing to cut it to length yourself.
You can get tubes direct from PrimoChill as short as 80mm.
You can get a 50/60mm tube direct from bitspower, or the whole reservoir from performance-pcs.

I have the older EK branded Jingway pump DCP4 like this

The res is 50mm OD...every tube I can find now, including that bitspower link, is 60mm OD

PLEASE NOTE:
This product can be upgraded with longer EK-RES X3 tubes!

This is the smallest one they sell.
...but I guess you probably measured the tube's diameter and found that it wouldn't work. :/

You could probably mail EK to see if it'll work with that older one, or you could ask frozenq (not to be confused with frozencpu) if they could cut and tap a tube for you.

thanks for the replies

I hate EK with a hot passion. I was mixed up in the bunk plating fiasco where they fucked Gary Sidewinder hard and blamed THEIR fuckup on everybody else. Got a failed plating HF Supreme block here to show for it.

I will be dammed if I will crawl back to them for a part now having seen in great detail what they are about.

The tube I need has to be out there somewhere. I will chase this frozenq.

You've probably already found it, but just in case...here! "I want something done just for me."

Bump for resolution...great success?

Its going to cost me

in the short term I flipped the cracked tube over so the crack is at the top...now it stops leaking when it gets below the crack
