Subject: [TowerTalk] Aluminum Pipe/Tubing Needed 



Looking for a 12' length of aluminum pipe/tubing 1/4" wall, 1.5" ID / 2" OD,
to use in a gin pole application. While this can be located outside my
immediate area, I was hoping someone on the list could provide a lead for a
local stock in the Houston area. Most of the Yellow Pages sources I have
tried have come up empty handed. I'd prefer not to have to look through
every scrap yard in Houston. Any locals out there with some ideas? 

Related question.. Is 1/4" wall overkill for 45G? I will be using the gin
pole clamp/head from WB0W.  I don't recall the wall thickness on Rohn's gin
pole design, but seem to think it was not this thick. Maybe 1/8" wall would
work?
