I'm having a hard time trying to find solid aluminum OVAL 1 inch (25mm) rod stock.
The alloy is not important and I just need enough to make one pair of nerf bars.

Thanks Danny!  Believe or not 35+ years ago when I made this set of nerf bars (right after Aronson made his) (monkey see..monkey do)
the scrap metal I used came from....Schorr Metals.    Grin

Guess I'll give them a call.
