I'm trying to get my hands on a small quantity (about 12 ft) of 2024T3 tube, 1.25 inch O/D, 83 thou wall thickness. Any ideas who may have some available? Have tried Aircraft Spruce and come up dry. Any ideas most gratefully received, either side of the Pond!

Thanks,

Phiil

I was going to say try Tube Sales (I got some odd-ball
sized aluminum tubing for the SNJ from them several years ago):

http://www.tubesales.com/

But I just tried that link and got a DNS error.

However, my notes say that Tube Sales was part of the TW Metals group:

http://www.twmetals.com/

Which is still very much "alive & around" (they're a supplier for
a local "major aerospace company").
