.058 is correct for telescoping sections and you should use DOM (drawn over 
mandrel) tubing.

Howdy -

    I'm fixing a couple of broken F12 elements and need  to know what the
typical wall thickness is for normal aluminum antenna elements.  It seems to
me that 0.058" is a number I've seen before but want to confirm  that. Tnx.

Cheers,
