Repco here had a crap supply of it here when I wanted some on friday.

I found BNT had a better selection of sizes etc etc.

The stuff at Repco isnt silicone, its just plain rubber.

I may have a flat mate bringing in a couple of lengths from China as he had the same issue finding it for a decent price. I can PM his number if you're interested in some - might be a little while for shipping tho. Let me know :D

Yes, stuff at repco (black vacuum tube) is just rubber, and will expand (pretty badly) on contact with oil.
