HELP 6061 T6 1 inch square tube needed

Post by Bean »

guys can someone help chase up 4 lenghts at 3 feet long of 6061 t6
we have most of the bike done but no one brings the tube into australia
the bike is a brand new crf450x 09 model so there is a bit of money riding on this.

Shaggy i feel your pain, this material is way too hard to get hold of in australia.

its a friggen joke how hard this is to get over here.
i have tried just about every alloy supplier on the eastern side of aus.
everyone said they can get it then ring back and tell me that its only available in Sharpe edge .

how short can it be cut? do you work with fed ex or a courier like that? I've got any amount of it available to ship, and will cut to any length from 20ft sections

it reads

BON L CANADA 1"X.120" SQ TB RD C RUSSEL 6061t6511 11103010

all round edge is going to be as t6511
