    Not the sort of thing you usually see on the street, but you could try asking around here. There are several stores in a row that sell Alu, they might be able to order it in.

    Did you find those metal supply stores and ask? It's one section of one street that I marked. They carry extrusions, off memory the simpler shapes though, I've not seen that T-square stuff before. And were you after sufficient quantity for them to be interested in ordering?

    Looks like you've been in HK long enough to realise that if a store doesn't carry something in stock, they are usually completely disinterested in even trying to think of where else you can get it from and just say "no", so hardware store places will definitely be saying "no".

    I did that research a while ago and found zero hits in HK. Taobao is one way, but you probably need an shipping agent.

    Note that 4040 comes in different load qualities.

    There are plenty suppliers on Taobao (many based in Shenzhen) but they can't/won't ship to HK and I wasn't on planning on going to China until after the holidays. Looks like I might be making a trip.

    Tai Kak Tsui is where all the metal shops are. Look West of Tong Mi Rd. They're located on the streets named after trees...
