Pete, I just sent an email to Tusker Metals, in Temecula, CA. I've
worked with them before, and they are pretty responsive and don't
gouge. If I can get a 2 x 2 piece, maybe we can split it?
Their number is 951-506-0927. I'd call but I don';t have a phone.
Rural life, fast internet, no phone.

The price is right but the shipping - wow!
I'm just south of ABQ; oddly enough, my wife's from New Castle, and
had this happened a couple of weeks ago her Dad could have driven the
sheet out!
I'll let you know what happens re Tusker.
Question, would the guy with the 48 x 48 sheet be willing to just run
a sabre saw through it, make two 24 x 48? Then you could cut down one
of them, and pass the remainder along?
I'm building the fin spars for a 109; made some out of 7075 but the
cost of HT-ing that stuff is ridiculous.
