|  uk supplier 38mm aluminium tube?
I am trying to source two 400mm lengths of 38mm (1.5") 16g aluminium tube to hook up to my new radiator. So far all the stockists I contacted here want a minimum order of 5 metres.
Can anyone point me to a supplier in the uk who will supply what I need?
regards
Dave

Brett, cheers. Richard and Ian, Thanks, I did look on those websites and others, but the closest I got was hose joiners.
I was just told that there is a company called Metal Supermarkets close by, so I will try them tomorrow.
regards
Dave

Thanks Brett, you have a pm.
Fred, those are serious curtain rails, I guess that is a difference between man and woman, the woman sees a potential curtain rail, the man sees a potential GT40 part 
cheers
Dave

Julian, thanks. I was surprised because I had looked on that site and didn't find tube. I see that it some pages are now cbsonline.com so I suppose they are updating the site.

Guys, thanks for your help, I found some tube at metal supermarkets in Glasgow, they are part of a larger store chain, US Canada UK and Austria and stock bar plate sheet tube of many materials, so many of you on the forum may find them useful. Metal Supermarkets
