www.chassisshop.com has 4130 1 1/4 .049 for as low as $2.26/foot.
This is from their website, so I don't know if the recent price increases in
steel have effected this price or not.
A couple years ago, a guy from www.aedmotorsport.com posted a message saying
they would give discounts to SAE teams on 4130. They might be worth a phone
call. I believe his name was Dave.
We usually pay $1.45/ft for 1 1/4 .049 1020 steel from a local steel shop. I
haven't found a need to use 4130 since it doesn't save any weight, it costs
more, and we've never had a failure with 1020.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Price of the tube
Hi everyone, we are the Mini Baja team from Guatemala and we are going to buy
the tube for the car in USA. I already talk with some persons but the price
that they give me it4s very expensive. So I was wondering if any of you could
tell me how much does your tube cost? and the place where I can get it.
If you know the reasonable price that the tube 4130 must be I will thank you a
lot.
Thanks everyone.
