Hi All,
I'm looking for good/reliable source for oval and aero section tube ( aircraft grade steel). Any suggestions?

Thank you

Ted

Expensive.

An alternative is using round section then cover it with an aero-shaped cover. Aircraft spruce may have that too... someone does...

This is another American based company - http://www.chassisshop.com/

Use their online catalog - It's a PDF - Choose the Tubing section. The aero (streamline) tubing is on page 2. Prices are listed.

I don't know if their prices are any better than Spruce, but A-Spruce is sooo expensive! I have ordered the chromoly tubing from Chassis Shop and it is of high quality.
