Domestic aerial mounting poles from the likes of wickes is about the right size! straight lenghts and bends available, and i bet its cheaper than the likes of pace!!!

More expensive, but a better range of sizes than scavenging:

if you need to bend it, apparently if you fill the tubes with sand they wont collapse.

Merlin Motorsport will supply aluminium tubing in various diameters. They are also able to bend it and put a bead on the end to stop hoses blowing off. You can contact them on 01249 782101. Don't know what the prices are like though.
