just use round tube and a hydraulic press. It will eventually become an oval.

Not for fsae, project for a friends raceteam i'm doing.
Not looking to form any oval tubing, it wont be consistent, plus its going to be small thin walled stuff, so it wont hold up.
Thanks though http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I found this from Aircraft Spruce. Slightly different size than you were asking for but close.

Thanks David, but thats not what I am looking for.
This will be using on the Intake tract of an engine, so i need just a normal oval alum tubing.
From the companies I spoke with it will be a custom extrusion and it'll cost a LOT of money since it needs a fairly large run.
So I found another route to go.
thanks everyone!

Does it have to be aluminum? If not, Burns Stainless sells oval 304 stainless:

Thanks, but yea it had ot be aluminum.
Decided to go another route via a little different design, so it wont be needed.
But thanks anyways.
