I'm looking for some 19mm (3/4" is fine) aluminium hex rod. I need a few metres total.
NZ suppliers have nothing, before I mail order from the US or the UK, does anyone know of any Aussie supplier?

A mate of mine did some work on an aircraft one time and I think he used ally hex.... is the 19mm measured across the flats or from point to point (ie as if in a 19mm dia circle)... I'll get on to him to see where he got it from,,,

19 across the flats (AF). I don't need exactly 19mm, 18 or 20mm would be fine, but 19 is a good size to get a spanner on later.

Thanks, but they were the first place I tried. Only 11mm locally which they must have made for some special job.
I can mail order from the US. Might be the plan but I was hoping to find something more local.

19mm across the flats measures 22mm across the points.

Drawn a blank everywhere. Looks like mail order from US or UK metal suppliers.
