Do anyone know a source for flat aluminum bars with rolled edges simular to what companies use to make strut bars? I checkd local hardware stores as well as online places listed here that sell roll cage fabrication materials.. so far no luck.

edit
here's a pic of the material i'm looking for.

 

That's extruded tubing, google it, there's tons of places that sell it.

 

the problem is finding a place that will sell you small quantities, ive been looking for a place that can sell me 1-1/2" half circle extruded tubing for a while now with no luck.

 

yeah, most places want to sell 1 stick minimum if it's a shelf item, but they will usually cut it to small quanities, just expect to pay alot more per ft.

 

Thanks guys,
so the name of the stuff is "half circle extruded tubing " correct? I'll call some local places for pricing tomorrow.

 

Try this or this place.

I wish streamline tubing was cheaper. That stuff always has some ridiculous pricetag on it!

 

just dont tell them it's for a plane or a boat then it should be much cheaper

 

I'd buy 6ft but the price is.. ouch.
thanks for the link though.
