Does anyone know of a source to get square aluminum tube similar to what is used for the luggage rack?

My 07 Hawk has some racks where the aluminum tubing has rounded corners, I can find many local sources for tubing that had hard square corners but not with the rounded corners like stock. I would like to make some bracing for solar panel install to match the current racks but have been unable to find some to match.

Looking....
 
look on Ebay, I find lots of aluminum products there. Or call Roy in the parts dept. at Four Wheel campers, he'll take care of you. Ron
 
Usually rounded corners are an indicator of two things, wall thickness and in the case of aluminum - structural rather than "architectural" tubing. The first so much so that I use the radius to roughly estimate the tube's wall thickness when I can't easily see an end. The radius of the corner and the wall thickness tend to be pretty close to the same in structural tube.
