where to buy oval tubing?
I want some oval tubing, about 3 metres in all. I've looked at Ralt but they have a £100 + VAT minimum order. Where else sells nice oval tube?

Proper oval. Do you know what each of these companies charge? There are no prices on their sites.

Never looked into price of oval tube myself, Elmdon Metals were not much more expensive than my local steel stockholders for round CDS, you would have
to buy a full length though, 6m for round tube. Give them a ring they were very helpful.
Im sure you could sell what you dont need.

Try http://www.adr-engineering.co.uk/ Online shop - good service and very nice weld in bungs as well...but not cds. Adrian (I guess the A in ADR)
tells me that this tube is what he uses in his very nice cars.
Lots of other nice bits at reasonable prices. I bought some weld in steering column splines - the quality was superb a million miles better than ones
i looked at elsewhere (name no names)
