Default Small rubber pipe - 7mm od, 3mm id????

Can anyone help me locate where I might be able to purchase a short length of rubber pipe, as per title - 7mm od (could be more, it doesn't matter), 3mm id (needs to be 3mm).... I only need about 15cm.

My 12V tyre inflator has bust, and the problem is a perished pressure pipe to the pressure gauge - which is as per this spec.

I can save the inflator but only if I can find, cost effectively, a small bit of rubber pipe! And I'm seriously struggling with searches in all the usual places...

I'm off to Halfrauds and B&Q Warehouse at lunchtime to see if I can see anything suitable anywhere - but not hopeful.

Any thoughts on where I can find this?

All help appreciated...

Local pneumatic tool & equipment suppliers? Have a look in Yellow Pages.

Most garages will have a suitable pipe in the workshop. I had the same but with a footpump and my garage pal popped on a new bit of pipe FOC

I already have bought a new one, but don't like throwing stuff away when it's only a rubber pipe that's broken - so want to fix it so that I can have one in each car.

Ah - good point. I have the Scoob going into Simpsons Highworth tomorrow for a rather expensive service, so will try and build a 10p bit of pipe into the deal!
