Default Where to get wing tubes?

Does anybody know of a good source for aluminum wing tubes? I need a 1 1/4'' x about 24'' pair of tubes with matching socket. Seems like there's not a lot out there. Central Hobbies is out of stock since the Gator brand tubes they carried had their building flattened by a tornado. Can anyone help? ..Thanks

Thanks much. Troybilt has tubes, but no sockets. I've already got an order in at TNT Landing Gear (placed over a month ago) but still on backorder with no word when they'll be in. Are these the only suppliers in the whole country??? Who do you guys call when you need a tube AND a socket? Any other choices?

Did that....came up with all the favorites mentioned above. But I'll try ALUMINUM wing tubes this time and see what pops up.
