What do the ends of the tube look like? Would it need to be structural or is it simply for looks? I live neat a huge metal supply yard, the rem rack they have is amazing, the I.D. of the tube is going to make it kind of a pain in the ass to find, but if you'd like, I'll look for you Monday after work. Would .125 wall be sufficient?

What wall thickness are you looking for? Aluminum or Stainless? What OD ? If I can get something, I'll bring it to Parker next weekend.

I'll be at the SCSC/APBA Circle Boat Races, should hit town on Friday about mid day, It's at the Bluewater Casino. I'll let you know what I come up with. So 27" long, 1/8 or 1/4 wall, aluminum, 5 1/2" OD?
