Look in your phone book under "steel suppliers". If that doesn't work,
homebuilt aircraft suppliers are a good source for small pieces of
chrome-moly tubing. You'll also have to find someone to bend the tube
for you- which is a potentially tougher problem than finding the tube
in the first place.

MIG, TIG, gas welding, or gas brazing is appropriate for steel tubing-
whatever you're equipped to do.

In case you want someone to bend the tube for you, I have added further
descriptions at http://hpvshop.dk/download.php?view.4

The description at page 26 was enough for my local "shop" to bend 3
tubes for me. It costs a fortune because they need to adjust the
tooling, so if you can find someone to share the costs with it will be
cheaper.

If you want more info mail me.

Hans Henrik

Where would one find the tubing for these plans in Canada? Also what kind
of welding could be used for this?

Thanks,
