Aluminum tubing sizes?

Any one have a good website that explains the different type of aluminum tubing sizes? What fits into what and so on? I made a few beams out of scrap metal and think I have it all worked out. Now I want to buy some aluminum pieces and make it right.

Also what size would be best suited to thread a 3/8 x 24 stud in to? I want to have a longer section on my screwdriver when I’m parked. Use less coil.

Lastly what about the different types of aluminum. Which would be recommended for a big 20 meter yagi? What would I get away with on a 6 meter rover that I’m going to put together and take apart a lot of times?

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
