You could try McMaster or OnlineMetals (Might of checked them already)

Not sure if they supply the right size, but you could mill it to size.;)

If you want it to be 7" you'll have to get a custom cut.

You could try Yarde Metals Drop Zone

I wouldn't go through the effort to order from anywhere but McMaster for such a small piece.

edit: nevermind. The smallest piece they sell is $60 and 12"x12". I've heard good things about Yarde, and I've used onlinemetals with good results.

I like online metal's pricing. After shipping that site is only slightly higher than our local supplier but it's hit or miss whether or not we can get a 27' tube from the local supplier site to ours.

There is also www.metalsdepot.com

The widest I've been able to find 6061 flat stock in 3/16" thickness is 4". You can find that at most of the sites people have listed so far. I'll throw www.metalexpress.com in too.

If you need 7" width, you'll need to upgrade from flat stock to plate and cut it yourself, or order it pre-cut. Metal Express does carry 1/4" x 8" in 6061 flat stock. But it will cost about the same as getting 3/16" plate pre-cut.

The prices on metalexpress.com:
36x4x3/16 Flat - $16
36x8x1/4 Flat - $40
36x7x3/16 Precut Plate - $40



If you do find a place that carries 3/16" x 7" 6061 flat stock, let me know.

EDIT: www.metalsdepot.com has 3/16" x 6" 6061 flat stock listed.

The website is, http://www.metalsupermarkets.com/

Find one near you, ours has a rack of cut offs which you can buy smaller pieces from. Also there really good about cutting smaller sections from longer pieces.
