If it will help, here is a pic (from a different airplane) but is shows the bar code of the aluminum that we get in the states for the Spa3d. The dimensions stated in the picture are the inside measurements.

I had to resort to 3/4 square tubing and cut one side off (what a mess!!!)

The servos do not fit too well in it, so it would have been better, cheaper and easier to go with 1" channel which Home Hardware had in stock......

Before I would cut a side out of a square tube I would Glue and screw to L channels together. Don't need to many screws and give you a stronger spine.

Wayne, I used box channel from Home Depot and didn't cut it. Just mount your servos on top with tie raps and double tape. Dont worry about the weight, i didn't and my SPA3D flys great! One thing I am about to do is move my aileron servos closer to the center of each aileron (to much flutter)
See my pics (scroll down the page) http://www.geocities.com/toneinator/techie.html

Harold, this bar stock is available at Home Depot and Building Box. I've checked both places and found B-Box the cheapest. Note that the bar and channel stock are kept together in a small area-if you cant find it, ask, its there.

Aluminum U channel
I also had a hard time finding U channel. I just bought 3/4" x 3/4" , "L" shape aluminum, and screw them together when you attach the engine mount and stabilizer Works great, and you can adjust the width for any servo.
