If you cant get it through your local steel stockists then you could try Ralt Engineering (they also do loads of other useful cool bits)

better link

MK Sportscars or some of the other manufacturers might sell you some if you're only after small bits

I found Ralt the cheapest too

Depends if you want standard flat oval which large steel stockists sometimes have or the fancy aero type ovals used on race cars which Ralt do.
I have the standard 11/4 x 5/8, approx 32 x 16mm in stock. If that's what you want let me know how much you need & I'll sort out a price - don't know how easy it will be re a carrier.

im looking for the aero stuff ideally, ralt do just the stuff, but what size and thickness of wall do i need? im looking to just replace the circular with oval on the standard wishbone designs? but if its loads cheaper i may as well go with the flattened oval, i need 9m of the stuff i think, if its only sold in 3m lengths thanks al

I got flat oval for my wishbones from Metal Supermarket they have branches everywhere in UK - not the cheapest but handy
