We found out this year that Coast Aluminum in California actually has 2" x 2" x 1/16" tube (its not in their catalog) which is really useful material. One of the things I have been considering is doing a belt in tube drive with this stock, which compared to the 2" x 1" x 1/8" tube we use right now in our WCD we'd actually be taking a weight savings.
