I've bought a bunch of various sized aluminum from Trinity Metals on ebay.

I bought mine from Aircraft Spruce

Currently 6061T6 1.125 x .058 is less than $3 a foot
Wicks (in Illinois near St. Louis) has had it in the past. It is hard and needs to be annealed to bend.

Check with AED in Indianapolis, 317-334-0569. They carry all sorts of tubing including some odd lot surplus if your timing is right.
1-1/8" water tubes - hmmmm - Lola?
I've had so many Lolas now that 1-1/4" looks oversize!

My pipe dream:
Last year I bought a box of bent mild steel tubing from Hedman Hedders (they are local to me). It was like Christmas. $75 for a big box that included much more than enough for my custom header project.
I'd love to find a similar situation with bent aluminum tubing. Let's all keep our eyes out for some company that bends aluminum tubing on a regular basis. Their scrap could be pretty valuable to us.
