Was it 3/8"?  I thought it was 5/16".  Anyway, I just picked out a piece
that was the right diameter and cut it to length.  The adjustment of the
screw becomes rather critical, a fine line between so tight you cannot move
the plunger, and loose enough to leak.  But once you find the right
adjustment, it works great.  I've been using the same piece of tubing since
at least 1990 or so, and I just moved it to the project TR3 where it still
doesn't leak.
