I'm trying to source Black Foam Tubing to accept 22mm Plastic Tubing .
I have found some here which would do

http://www.component-force.co.uk/en/...206/FG2/prices
but I'd prefer it cheaper if possible as I might want to buy quite a
few lengths .
I had thought of Pipe Insulation but I think the stuff above might be
denser than pipe insulation and grey seems to be the norm for the pipe
stuff and also it is split and I'd prefer it without a split

If anyone knows of a source that would be most helpful.

Without knowing what it's for, difficult to suggest.
You could search for "air con pipe insulation" which is
closed cell foam with no split, and comes in long lengths.

I did actually say what it was for then decided it wasn't needed
..Should have kept to my initial thoughts .
I'm making a rod carrier for fishing rods to attach to a car
..basically a Glaziers Vacuum Device with a piece of 22mm plastic pipe
fitted on top and I want the foam pipe to cover the plastic pipe to
offer protection to the rods . Like this

Most seem only to be partially split, a thumb needs to be run down it
to get it to split completely - that is so it can be slid along the
pipe without splitting it, should you need to.

Hm. I was thinknig that was cheap until I saw the length - 305mm/1'
which makes it close to £12 for 2 metres..

Navitron sells Armaflex in 2m lengths in 3 different wall thicknesses.

About halfway down this page:

http://www.navitron.org.uk/product.php?proID=76

So a 2m length of the thin stuff (19mm wall) is £6.16.

Cheaper than screwfix which works out at £9.98 but you need to buy a
pack of 32!

Armaflex works at higher temperatures which (I'm told) that standard
grey stull melts at...
