I saw some stuff at work that I thought would be perfect for rplacing msts on ships. It was thin gage spring steel pieces. Of course i can't take it, so I was wondering if there was someplace I could buy it. I am sure many of you use replacement stuff to enhance the kit and this would be great in that it more than likely won't be warped and you don't have to asnd down seams and all that.

Hello Steve,
Try a welding supply store or a plumbing supply store. I was in Home Depot the other day and did not see any welding supplies.
Cheers,
Bruce
