There are many sources of tubing, I use
https://www.marmonkeystone.com/ecomm/servlet/HomepageServlet
Because they are close and offered free delivery, at least the last time I
ordered some.
If you google something like "aluminum tubing 6061-t6 massachusetts" but for
your location it should show you suppliers that are around you.

Subject: [TowerTalk] refurbing a Cushcraft 40-2CD
I am planning to refurbish an older Cushcraft 40-2CD that I purchased used many
years ago with the intention of installing it on my tower. Since I have a F12
240N up now, I have no reason to keep so, so I plan to refurb it and sell it.
As is typical of them, the driven element end of the boom is crushed. Since
Cushcraft/MFJ does not actually make this version anymore, how do I get parts
for it? I have looked and compared the 40-2CD manual and the XM-240 manual
side by side, and the end boom sections are different diameters. Would buying
the XM-240 end boom section and the 12" long coupler work?
Is there another source of the boom material outside of Cushcraft?
Thanks for any input.
Tom, N2SR
