where would be a ideal place online to buy plastic tubing to make roll cages?

Well? I think there is a place called Google that should yield many sources. Some suggestions would be to type in Plastruct & Evergreen. I think they may have online service.If you have no LHS that stocks it that's about it.

I love the Raboesch Super Styrene for any kind of cage or chassis work. It's very bendable and holds bends well - very easy to work with. Unfortunately, it's become difficult to obtain - according to my LHS, Midwest Products originally imported it to the US but hasn't carried it for a few years. I was running short on my supply and just ordered a bunch from Cornwall Model Boats in the UK. They were great to do business with - Sam was quite helpful and I'd recommend them highly.

If you haven't tried Super Styrene, you should give it a shot. Get some 2.0mm (.080") tubing and rod, as they're both useful, and you're good to go.
