Ive built up my proton pack just got to add the bits and bobs now, but I am now starting on the thrower. Ive brought Throwingchickens new 2.5 body. I was thinking about using aluninium for the tubing under the handles, my question is what size tubing is correct measuring the bodies it looks like 32mm is about the size but will I get handles to fit this?
Cheers

It depends on the gun body. Everyone casts their’s slightly different. Be sure to ask whomever you buy from before you buy some tubes. Throwingchicken’s bodies are real nice. Might go with one of those if I build a 2nd pack. I purchased MMM’s gun kit actually. Went together real nice.
The correct tubing, both for ThrowingChicken’s gun box and an accurate thrower, is 1 1/4" OD with 1/16" walls.
I’d take the gunbody to wherever you’re buying the tubing and see what fits into the holes. If the holes aren’t cut yet, then you can cut them to fit whatever tubing you find that meets specs.

It’s made to fit 1" thin-walled PVC, which is just a hair larger than 1-1/4". I’d think the metal tubing would do fine, but as suggested above, take the gunbox to the store with you.
Thanks for your help guys so 1 1/4" tubing is screen accurate, im going to have to buy off Ebay so cant really test, but its not dear so should be fine
I went to Homebase (diy store) yesterday and purchased a metal table leg for £3.30. It is ever so slightly thicker in OD than 1.1/4". Its also plenty long enough for both tubes need with some left over

That’s what I did.
TC’s thrower kit as well.
