Source? Extruded aluminum shapes

[Beggar]

I'm looking for standard, off-the-shelf extruded alumninum profiles. I'm looking for low-profile shapes that can be used to make clamps for holding sheet metal, etc.

I'm not looking for structural shapes like 80/20, etc.

If anybody could suggest some specific sources, I'd appreciate it. I've hunted around the Thomas Reg site but I'm hoping to narrow it down a little.

Thanks.

Check out Transtar Metals (used to be called Tiernay). They have many, many sizes and shapes. Not all are in stock so you will have to call them with a few part numbers in hand. Prices I have found to be pretty reasonable.
