Differential collar/washer?!

[Malakite]

Hi everyone, I am after a very simple long shaped small washer. Marui refer to it as a 'Differential collar' but in effect its just a small long brass tube shaped washer, but I cannot find anywhere on the ent/ebay of what I mean. It's such a commonly used pice but I just cannot find out what Tamiya call it?! Any ideas? It is to go on the end of a differential shaft to gap between the end gear.

Thanking you all kindly!

Any chance of a picture?

Depending on the shaft size, I use anodized ali knitting needles all the time for spacers and such. Cheap and easy with a small tubing cutter.

Yeah, need a picture. Perhaps it's a "flanged tube" you're looking for? Don't know.

There are some threads in this forum: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showforum=6 for attaching pictures, in fact there's a sticky at the top.

Thanks I don't think I can upload one. Can I have someones email address and I can send someone a pic? I'm gutted that such a small part is stopping my building the model!!

Dude, you must have some online storage? Just upload the pic there and share the link here.

It looks like this. I suspect it's got a 6mm ID since the Marui uses 6 x 10 bearings. No ideas on length or OD. Do you happen to have a pair of calipers to measure it?

I strongly suspect that a UK size 1 knitting needle cut to length will take care of this. I posted the size chart suspecting this.
