P.S., You can get this sample tubing from SIL-MED Corporation (700 Warner Blvd, Taunton MA 02780, USA; voice 508-823-7701, fax 508-823-1438). They have a variety of tubing sizes, none of which are appropriate. They will, however, custom extrude some for you. I think there is a minimum order requirement (maybe 50 feet). I recently ordered tubing as follows: 50 feet of silicone rubber tubing, 0.010" ID x 0.082" OD, SM1150A - 50 Durometer, Bio-Sil. At $1.35 per foot, not a bad deal. (of course, that was in July 1998 . . . it lasts a long time . . . prices may have gone up) This size should also work for you (I use it in my Elites, and my Vantage), but you could check with BD for their specs.
