I think Customcoach is out of stock.. his prices are pretty good. But I have been buying all my mandrels from JCWhitney..

http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/...&storeId=10101

9.99 - 30.00

1 1/2's - 3 in

45's 90's 180's... they got it all

Good luck,

Jeff

Hold on man, cheap & the word aluminum pipe don't go together. If you want aluminum pipe, buy a $300 kit. Otherwise get bits and pieces (of mild steel) and weld that ---- together yourself.
