I got my 3/8" at TAPP Plastics because I was close to it but most people use McMaster-Carr, they are cheaper and have more a variety of sizes. As for bending most people use a heatgun. Heat it until the plastic is "shiny" then bend to desired angle. It's possible to use a lighter or torch but you have to take it slow in order to avoid burning the plastic. Also be sure to pick up a set of jeepindoug's drill bushings, they make drilling delrin much easier.
