 As mentioned above, K&S brand copper, brass and auminium tubes are available at most decent hobby shops.  I know the toy shop next to Clark Rubber in South Street Freo has some, also Ace R/C in Midlands.  Cut the tube by rolling it under a blade- cuts cleanly that way.  Do take care to chamfer the end od the tube, so it doen't fray your braid (learned that the hard way).
