Delivered to Woburn. Roughly the same price as StockCar, but closer and quicker to deliver, even with a holiday weekend slowing them down. The 20' lengths are a big help for me too, as that will cut down on waste considerably. I'm sure they discounts to accounts that order significant volume.

Just got a quote from them... and...what a difference. I will definitely be ordering from them for my next bulk order. And they will deliver right to our front door here in Colchester, VT. Thanks for the new source!

Good to know that they have the cold drawn material now. Did'nt list it as of a couple months ago, but I'm not surprised, either. The delivery I'm used to getting from them, it took 5 of us to heft 1 piece off the truck, and we were making big mill rolls. After we walked on top of 'em for 2 weeks, to get to the saw. No wonder my ankle is junk.....

Resurrecting this in case anyone has any new leads on cage tube sources. Marmon Keystone restructured their sales department at some point this year and now the minimum order to get the price I was getting is 600ft of DOM.

onlinemetals.com They have a warehouse it Ct-so shipping shouldn't be bad. And they will sell down to a single foot.
Translating road racing to hillclimbing:
Proper tire selection== nothing hooks up on moss or wet leaves.
Staying on the racing line==anything paved is considered good.

Problem isn't down to a single foot, it's that they only sell up to 8 ft. Cars a little bigger than yours need more than 8 continuous feet for the main hoopsdwarf36 wrote:onlinemetals.com They have a warehouse it Ct-so shipping shouldn't be bad. And they will sell down to a single foot.

Re: Sources for cage steel?
After a recommendation from Tom @ Wicked, I tried out Choice Metals in Goffstown for this latest order. They're really close to me, their prices were competitive, and they got the material out very quickly (free shipping since I'm so close).
