Hi,

Not from experience, but just hunches....

I'd be trying the electrical wholesalers first, out of habit.  But also
aluminium welding places, & there are several aluminium wholesalers,
retailers, fabricators etc in the yellow pages - probably the biggest,
in Sydney at least, is Capral Aluminium, well worth a try.

I'm trying to think who uses it....?  which is why I'm thinking TIG
welding type places etc.  Yellow pages or Web should find someone.


Regards,

Phil Chalk.

I have an australian acquaintance looking for aluminum wire 2-3 mm in
diameter. Here in the US it would be a matter of going to an electrical
supply place and getting AWG 10 aluminum wire (used for grounding dish
antennas and such).  Where would one find this in Australia?  I figure
one
of you folks has tried making a primary or strike rail out of the stuff.
