Look in the phone book under metal suppliers or riggers. You can also find sizes like that at Home depot or Lowes. There are a number of online suppliers also and shipping on that small piece, although bulky, wouldn't be that bad.

There is a location in Kearny Mesa, I think. Not far from 805 and Claremont? I don't live there, so I am only going off memory, when I took my son to Boomers.

I know this is a little late, but California Metals off Marshall In El Cajon is where I get all my metal.

California Metals
297 S Marshall Ave
El Cajon, CA 92020

(619) 444-3111

They're a recycling yard, and metal-house, that Might be the wrong #, but thats all I could find real fast.
