It's hardware but not as we normally discuss

S! All, hope you're all well and safe. 

After about a 18 months of researching, plotting, scheming, saving and waiting patiently I've nailed my (for me and my uses) the perfect input setup for IL2. I've been really lucky to get hold of a set of MFG pedals, a Kanttorin Kone throttle assembly and one of those elusive beasts, a BRN KG13 joystick. The joystick came from Sochi via the states during lockdown. 

Now my question is this, where do I find suppliers of those extruded aluminium bits that monstertech and Co use in the EU? My idea is to create a simpit of sorts that is utilitarian in feel to match the devices so no comfy gaming seat (I was actually thinking a kart seat) with PC mounted behind and a small USB type C monitor for getting into Windows. IL2 will be VR only. I'll be seating semi reclined as in FW190 but I'll be stumped as to finding out where to pick up the extruded aluminium ?

Thanks for that. Any time I've looked on the bay they've been short lengths. Did not go as far as Italy
