Thick walled ali tube

I know this has been asked a million times, but I couldn't find anything through searching:

Does anyone know of a decent source of thick walled ali tube to make a linkage for my paddle shift - I assume to tap out to M8 it'll need to be 6mm or 7mm ID.

Cheers

Steve

Would that be a round bar ? To tap to M8 you will need it to be 10mm round which sounds a bit large.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Steve,

I have some spare from when i did mine, how much do you need?? I ended up buying 5meters!

It;s proper thick walled ali tube which you can tap with 8mm thread.
