Does anybody know where I can get (locally) plastic tubes (2-3mm dia) such as one found here:

Try finding for some on pet store. They keep tubes to feed air to the bubble maker (I don't know the exact name of it, but you can imagine what is a "Bubble Maker"  ) in the fish tanks.
Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Thanks Sumeet. I'm aware of that. But they are of bigger diameters, I think around 5mm.

There are few 'Nylon' shops in SP Road Bangalore who sell these.. Paid as much premium price (as small quantity) as for HK. So if you are ordering something from HK, put them in the cart. Even I did instead of haggling from local shop.

That's what I did!

However, in the mean time, I just visited a pen shop and asked if had any empty refills and he gladly provided me with plentiful from his dust-bin I just needed some short lengths for placement of my rx antennas and they did the job pretty well.

For mechanical strength, you can use ball point pen refills. They are rigid.
And for heat sink pipe replacement, you can use Soft Drink Straw. Just pull from both side and they will take joint shape. Just try one time.

try to use nylon curtain rods..ranges from 2mm to 6 mm..stiff but some flexible..

Thank you Kalyan Ji and Roopesh Ji!
