Even if Home Depot/Menards/Lowes had the right size, it is of a lower grade and won't be as strong and will stress-crack when bent. IIRC, theirs in 2032 Al. I would shoot for nothing less than 6061-T6 Al.

Onlinemetals.com or McMastercarr.com are good places to go.

The lesser quality stuff is OK for things like heatsinks/heatspreaders, but not for structural uses where you want as much strength/rigidity yet least weight as possible.
