[TowerTalk] Aluminum tubing needed

[Brad Anbro]

Hello all and Merry Christmas!

I am looking for a short piece of aluminum tubing with which to repair the boom on a home-made copy of a KLM yagi antenna.

I need a 39" long piece of 3" outside diameter tubing with a 0.055" wall thickness. I cannot seem to find this size listed in any of the steel & aluminum catalogs, so I am thinking that this is a non-standard size and that KLM had it manufactured for them, as Telrex used to have done.

I am hoping that someone has an old piece of KLM boom material and that they can fix me up with a piece of this tubing. Thanks for any help with this!
