You're not looking hard enough. First of all, don't throw the old fittings away, you can put them on the new tube. Even West Marine has tubing and will ship it to you for less than that (I know it's hard to believe). I found numerous sources by simply googling "aluminum pipe tubing". Determine the size you need and go from there, you might ask for anodized aluminum.
