Aerocet 1100 spreader bars

Had a hard landing and bent my spreader bars. Forward one is not too bad, but the rear has a dent in it and I think cannot be straightened.  I saw AC Spruce has aluminum wing struts, but it looks like the minor axis is 1" where I measure mine as 1.5".  See the pics attached.

Hoping someone has one or both of these for sale or can point me to somewhere that sells this material.  If so send me a message.  Thanks

Thanks for the info. Just ordered two of the Carlson heavy duty struts. The dimensions look identical to the spreader bars on the Aerocet 1100 floats.

Pretty good pricing too.  Cheers.

 Have you checked your flying wires, cross brace wires for the float struts, years ago there was problems with the micro press slipping ?Weren't crimped enough, do you have a gauge?
