Ebay just seems to be China for new stuff and even then it is not much cheaper.I was very lucky twice our local scrappy had some machines made from it, he employs a bloke to strip it down as its high grade ally I paid about £60 for enough to make two small benches and a few spares. I assume you have tried Ebay?
Thinking that if I do go ahead with a rebuild it might just be more sensible to weld together the bed from 4"x 2"x 1/4" RHS 6082 Aluminium, and bolt some 2"x 2"x 1/8" legs on. Can then weld in some 4mm sheet to act as a water tray with the 4x2 being the sides/ends.
The beauty of the extrusion would have been nice and simple to build and get square but at 3x the price I am not so sure if it is worth it.
This is what I have so far, with the legs being bolted it should be fairly easy to move if I need to in the future.
