Anyone have a source for 7075 Aluminum bar in Canada?
« on: December 08, 2012, 10:34:25 PM »
 Wanted to build Steering stem, and maybe some other bits.
 So far I have gotten quotes for. 6 feet minimum, and 12 feet min... I could get by with 3 feet or maybe less of 1.25 round.
 The price I got so far was 160.00 for 6 feet of 1.25
 I never dreamed this stuff that pricey..
 Anyone got a source for this?

 They have a dealer near us will check with them, I know they have a high minimum price.

Check out this place, Frank. They have a location in Seattle, but will apparently ship to Canada; notice the button on the right for Canadian customers.

Don't fix it if it ain't broke!
