Jim, I purchased SS tubing to make a telescoping mast crutch for my M15 (inner diameter large enough to slide over the top of my existing crutch, which I cut down and then drilled a couple of holes for a clevis pin to go through) from ABC Supply in Sacramento. http://www.abcsupply.net/ They may be able to bend steel tubing to order; I don't know. Or it may be worth a call to them to see if they might have a contact in the San Diego area. Keep in mind that SS will be very heavy, if that's what you are after. For a bimini frame, I don't know, but maybe aluminum might be adequate for just supporting canvas? You can get aluminum tubing at Ace Hardware. Neil
