1251 told me about this place, so I'd suggest calling as soon as you can. They may even be kind enough to direct you to other suppliers more local to you.

Specifically look at page 10 dash 52 on this pdf http://www.alro.com/dataCatalog/010-...um.pdf#Page=48

Again, I have no experience with this supplier, I just know they carry 6061-T6 1x2 tube with .062 wall thickness and that they are used by 1251.
Akash is correct.

We just ordered ours from Alro Metals today.
