I have a bit of a plastic knitting needle drilled out in my silicon tube and it works a treat. And cost me nothing.

Why?? You know the size it has to be, and trust me its just a hole in a brass ball usually. So save yourself a few £ and DIY, mine has been in well over a year, and never caused an issue and works as it should.

How did you measure 0.9mm? Isn't that just like a pin *****?

I`m lucky with mine it was 2mm, but most engineering suppliers will sell 0.9mm drill bits. And tbh a 1mm one will do the same job, 0.1mm will make no difference what so ever imho.
