Stainless Steel..... resists corrosion even better, and should be a better conductor than aluminum.
And, it's shiny!
As far as availability? Should be able to get it at a steel fabrication shop. Or Hutterites if you happen to know any.....

Hey
Go to a metal supply shop like Russel Metals, they have plenty of Brass, Cupper and Aluminum. I saw a piece of brass at the Winnipeg plant that was 12" square and 5 feet long. Some 3/8" hex rod would look unique.
If that doesn't work - just hammer a 1/2" water pipe flat [img]smile.gif[/img]
Good Luck, J

F M, it's a metal bar used to connect the terminals on multiple batteries or capacitors.

the whole flatening copper tube in a bench vise as listed above is one of the most cost efective ways to do a buss bar and u can get even larger copper tube and do the exact same thing! i have done the above a few times give it a shot if u havn't already done so. [img]smile.gif[/img]
