I'm looking to source some aluminium tubing. Must have a nice finish on OD, be 12mm OD fairly exactly, and have 3mm wall thickness. Answers on a postcard :) |

Your local metal merchant should be able to source that, but it's going to cost you top dollar... |

How fairly is your exactly ?? Shipping is horrendous ... but Tube itself is cheapish ... maybe give some idea ( if you find some in a local stockist ) if it's a rip-off or not .. Dave BC |

Most extruded tube will be in imperial sizes Try searching for hollow bar stock bill |

I can find out where he got them. They have a fairly even matte finish, and I'm pretty sure they're aluminium. |
