uk supplier 38mm aluminium tube?

[Dave Bilyk]

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?

Dave,
I'll have a look in my shed tonight. I have some ally tubing its either 35 or 38. If its 38 you can have it.

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.

I found some nice light ally tube in 38 mm, anodized in your choice of colour (silver/gold/grey).........

in my local curtaining shop - sold as curtain rails!

Also have a look at the material sold as TV areial poles

Dave,
38mm with 2mm wall. I have 2 x 2m lengths. Let me know what you want. Just pay the postage up to the old country

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:laugh:

cheers

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.
