Up until Tuesday I had some for you!

Rick Walba at tailboom.com has some.  #8 would do you just fine -- 
though you will have to stretch it yourself from an inner diameter of 
.133 down to whatever you need.  I normally wrap one end of the tubing 
around a popsicle stick, chuck it in a bench vise, and do the same thing 
with the other end, except I hold it with vise grips.  Using a heat gun, 
warm the tubing while keeping a consistent stretch.  When you get it to 
the size you need it, keep that stretch going for about a minute or so.  
Voila!
