just try the alum shoops, sellers. We have a few places just sell aluminum sheet, pipe, around brissy.
a quick yellow pages search http://www.yellowpages.com.au/search/performSearch.do?headingCode=14877&l...
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!
Go hard or go home!!!!

Tube is always measured by the outside diameter, so 50mm alloy tube will be smaller on the ID than you wanted. I have plenty of 50mm tube if you want
some, it's 1.6mm wall thickness I think.
Spyder-WISD 07-09-05 11.6s @ 125 MPH
Speedster-WISD Nats 05 14.4s @ 89 MPH
Jet cruiser-Coogee 22-09-05 900 deg C @ 110,000 rpm

How did you anneal it ? Can you do small sections with a gas torch? Or use the wife's gas oven ? About what temperature, celcius ? Was it 6061 or
another grade ? Thanks.

youll have to ask the above ^ people what grade it is, i simply heated it untill it the flame was red when it JUST passed over the peices end, then
let it slowly cool, i wasnt surte on the grade of alloy and i didnt know it of was a heat treatable alloy so i didnt quench it incase it made it
brittle, i worked it while still warm wearin thick leather gloves......used a propane torch, but if i was to anneal with oxy acet then the process is
a little different.
Take an acetelene flame and pass it over the peice to build up a decent layer of soot, then take a normal blue flame and burn off the soot, becareful,
aluminium melts at about 1200C and the oxy burns at 800C (but that could be farenheit i cant remember) hope that helps.......
ad for the wifes oven..... im 17 .... id have to use mums, and that is more dangerous hehe
