Aluminum tubing and bend suppliers, who do you use?
My local source has the worst quality tubing I have ever seen. I'm looking for a good reliable supplier that wont break the bank. Let me know who you would recommend!

I would love to say, but I'll get banned for promoting anything related to us. So IM me if you want to know where we get it from, I'll IM you a price.
Its priced well, and is polished and each piece has a bead on the end. So you can can the beads off, or try to use them where you can. I just can't mention anything or else I'll get banned

adam at racing solutions is a great guy to deal with.
i've used vibrant stuff in the past, but have had to cut aluminum bends and found polished out welds right in the middle of a 180 degree bend. i'm pretty sure none of their stuff is made in north america...

Do they have a lip rolled into each 4" bend?
Vibrant seems to be marked up quite a bit compared to some of these suppliers. I wish they sold non-polished tubing for a better deal.

Got my order in today from http://www.globaltecheng.com Nice quality aluminum, welds nice with very little cleaning and polishes easily.
