AI Thread Summary
Die cast aluminum tubes are not commonly available, as aluminum tubes are typically extruded rather than cast. A user suggests exploring companies that specialize in spin casting tubes and inquires about the specific type of tubes needed, such as hydraulic tubing. They mention GT Tubes in Sheffield as a potential source, although they couldn't locate it online. The discussion also highlights the need for a European equivalent to the US-based Thomasnet directory for finding manufacturers. Quick sourcing options are emphasized due to the urgency of the request.

To the best of my knowledge, aluminum tubes are generally extruded, not cast in any way.

In the US, there is a company called "http://www.thomasnet.com/index.html"" which now has a web site. They break down and list companies in the US & Canada into catagories depending on what they manufacture or services they provide. I have to believe there's an equivalent service in Europe. I wonder if anyone knows what it is?

You might find some people spin casting tubes. What kind of tubes? Are we talking hydraulic tubing?
 
GT Tubes in Sheffield might be worth a shot, couldn't find them on Google though. Perhaps try directory enquiries?
