Looking for 6.5" OD steel tubing in SoCal

[Scott_F]

I am looking for 6.5" OD steel tubing, .188" or .250" wall, like that used in trailing arms. Do any fab shops or metal suppliers have any short lengths to sell? I don't want to buy a full length. Thanks.

Kartek has them already cut at an angle on one end.They have a few different lengths as well-they stock them for most sand car builder to buy as they need.

Some of the bigger metal supply places, like Industrial Metal, have tubing made for hydraulic cylinders. It's not 4130 but it is strong and seamless. It's even honed to a standard close tolerance size inside. One that big would likely be .250 wall. I think it comes in no more than 10 foot lengths and they will cut it if it's not short already.
