AEX Wedge source? ACS Part #?

I'm going to be redoing the rudder on my RV-10 (nothing really wrong with the first one; just improving the trim tab geometry), and I need to get a new piece of the wedge material for the trailing edge. I don't relish the shipping on a long piece like that and was hoping to find a nearby source in Arizona. Alternatively, I could probably include it with an ACS order but I can't find it in the catalog and was hoping (assuming they carry it) that someone knew the part number or catalog page it can be found on. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have some that was shipped from Van's in a long section of PVC pipe with caps taped on. Clever way to ship it without damage.

Yeah, but what was the cost? Odd sized/shaped packages generally cost more than equivalently weighted but normal sized packages.

I am pretty sure Van's owns their own extrusion dies and special orders it manufactured as needed.
