I have been looking for some 2" x 0.120 steel tubing to build a roll bar to replace my hacked targa bar. Can anyone in the norcal area point me to a reasonably priced supplier? I have found it at about $7.50 a foot for 1018 cold rolled steel in the aforementioned size. Also is this a reasonable price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I could swear that i saw it for around 4 bucks a foot but now i can only see these $7.50 and up. Am i looking at a the wrong type of tubing or what?

As Chris noted, you will be needing DOM tubing if this is to be for safety reasons and eventually some tech inspector will be looking at it. DOM tubing is a tad more expensive but it will protect your head as my buddy Ted Myrus found out at Willow Springs last fall when he went for a ride inverted in his 914. He did find also his engine ran great upside down and it didn't stop until he went back on to the wheels.
