1/4" is awfully small, but, here is the only stuff i've found in the last 20 minutes of seaching.

Could have swore I saw some at the local Ace Hardware. It's in the same display case as the aluminum and brass tubing.

If you read the Tower description, you will see "Easy to bend and form." Not the best for a fuse - wonder if it is the relatively soft pure aluminum or the more rigid aluminum alloys preferred for this sort of application.
