If you base it on websites and catalogs, there are 50+ places that have the hex... but when you go to order, it's out of stock, or they have to check, so on and so on. Eventually they tell you they're pretty sure they don't carry it anymore and have no current plans to reorder...

I've been hunting diligently for this since December, and I know RC has as well.
Similar to what Adam said. We've been looking since December. I got an email back from the Yarde Metal:

REGARDING YOUR INQUIRY FOR THE 7075 HEX. WE MUST REGRET AT THIS TIME AS WE DO NOT STOCK 7075 HEXES.

THANK YOU FOR THE INQUIRY

BARB AT YARDE

I also called and they said that their catalog is out of date and they have no interest in stocking 7075 Hex.

We will be putting an order in for 3/8 Hex if nothing else pops up in a week. Please do continue posting.

Also the tolerances are exactly what Cory spec'd. We will be getting cold formed 7075-T6.

Thanks,

-RC
