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.

contact Todd Matthies 763 434 9643 his web site is http://www.stinsonreliant.com/index.html i got a pile of the square tubing for my V77 wings from a guy in the midwest and todd had all the contact info. As i remember this guy had lots of the stuff left over from his project as he had to have a real big batch made. the price was resonable. also a guy in calif that has a sheetmetal shop that can make the stringers for the fus....

take care

Mike, here is a direct link to a page at Airparts in case some of the other sources don't pan out. Or call them at 800-800-3229.
