I am in need of some 3/8" and 5/16" square aluminum tubing for a restoration project on a Stinson Gullwing. Anyone have any sources or know who I might contact for this?
Thanks,
Mike

Try these folks. I have no experience with them, but they seem to have an extensive line of products and specialize in aircraft aluminum.
