  Gerry:
  Than you for your inquiry. Our stiffest tube brush is the steel 1400 series. https://www.solobrushes.com/products/steel-stainless-steel-brass-tube-cleaning-brushes-1400/
  
  The 1200 series should provide the stiffness you need for the application. The 1201 is 1/8" DIA. They go up in size from there. https://www.solobrushes.com/products/1200-manually-operated-bristle-tube-twisted-in-wire-brushes-4141/

  They are comparable in stiffness. The 1200 series is slightly softer than the 1300 Nylon - this is more noticeable the wider the brush diameter.
