Does anyone know a supplier of 5085 Aluminum? I am looking for a 6" diameter tube that can be machined to size. Very hard to find.
 
Have you thought about other alloys like 5052 or 5086?
Both are quite common on boats around here.

The only component I've seen made from 5085 was a boat mast of which I was told it was an extrusion that came from the West Coast.

You could go to one of the service centers that say they can find any alloy. The only problem is there is usually a cost premium.
