1/2" wide rectangular tubing

I'm looking for aluminum tubing that's 1/2" wide, specifically in the size of 2x.5x.125. Does anyone know if such an extrusion exists, and if so, where I could get it? I've done some research and it seems extremely difficult to find, but I swear I've seen it before.

Re: 1/2" wide rectangular tubing

We get all our aluminum from Alro. Unfortunately, they don't have 1/2 X 2. They have 1/2 x 1 or 3/4 x 1 1/2.

Here is all they have:

I'm not seeing anything in the Ryerson stock list that's 2"x1/2"x1/8" wall aluminum. That wall is pretty thick for the width (50%). Are you sure of your dimensions?
