Source for aluminum tube braces ?

[thedarkroom]

I am looking for a source for 1" aluminum tube braces to mount to the aluminum backing that a print is mounted to (the print is mounted to aluminum and I want to mount the brace to the back of the aluminum)

A NY lab uses these :

(click on the "Aluminum Tube Brace" red link on the left column for an idea of what they look like).

This is more like a sign shop kinda thing but it's a large order that I don't want to pass it up.

I have found the right adhesive - just looking for the braces.
Thanks,

A good place to start would be a Google search for Outwater Plastics in NJ.

Good luck.

Plenty of sources out there. Check you local Yellow Pages for Aluminum Wholesale. You will most likely find a dozen places locally competing for your business.

Machine Shops would be another source.
