I have dealt with Dillsburg and they have the most selection and the best prices. They supply some of the other suppliers. Google them, then fax in your order for a quote. h

I was informed by Dillsburg that when thier supply is all sold,they are closing.They have a limited supply of tubing at this time.I ordered some from Wicks this winter because Dillsburg was out of one of the sizes I needed,and I was impressed how quick Wicks shipped it to me,and the price was very good also.

Be sure and specify USA made 4130. The FAA has informed me that Chinese steel is sold at some of the major steel distributors and that it is not meeting matrial spec and the wall thickness can varie. Pay the little extra for matrial cert. and compare the heat lot numbers on the cert to the ones on the steel you recieve.

I agree, the counterfit 4130 is becoming a real issue, It may become an AD because of the problems people (OEM's) have had. Tim
