We can get things from MSC delivered next day from PA to VA and only pay ground shipping if we order by mid-afternoon. Your signature says you are in "E-burg", and I have no idea what you mean, so I can't help you on delivery times.

#35 has been the standard the last couple of years. If you have a local Graingers, you can get sprockets and chain readily. As for aluminum stock, see a real metals supplier in your area. They may be billed as a steel supplier, but they should also carry aluminum. It should cost you perhaps less than $3./lb. for tube and strap, $4./lb. for flat plate, depending on alloy, of course.
