Default ACS aluminum alloy?
I need to order some more Aluminum angle. Since I need some other items that Vans doesn't carry, I thought I'd just order everything from Aircraft Spruce. But, they have 3 different alloys of Al angle: 2024T3, 6063T52, and 6061T6. Which one should I order to be compatible or similar to what Vans uses in their kits?

Most of the angle supplied in Van's kit is 6061-T6.

Arguing on the internet is like having a competition to see who can hit a brick wall the hardest. You may win, but you're still an idiot.

Refer to the Vans part number system: T3= 2024T3, T6 = 6061T6.
