    Ok turns out "One steel" is the only local provider of something close enough spec for automotive"that i could find", but not selling direct to the public you must call them and find out your closest suppler. roughly $140 for 6m length in wich you have to purchase the full 6m.....( this is 3" 3mm thick."
    just incase anyone else has as much fun as i did going threw every local aluminum foundry and refusing to pay $200 for a u bend at gogear out of 4130 molly

    Go through skips out the back of industrial estates and pick out scraps

    You won't find 3" as such but metric 75mm is readily available. Check out capral aluminum or other aluminum wholesalers/retailers in your area. Also ask around some metal fabricators in your area, especially if they specialize in aluminum. You might get lucky. Any common structural grade would be fine.
