Midlands supplier of thin gauge ally

Hi all,

On the hunt for some thin gauge ally sheet to re-skin a small wing section - probably a 5000 series or similar grade. I'm after 22swg or even 24swg (0.7 or 0.56mm).

Has anyone got any ideas where I could get some from? I don't really want to buy a full sheet of it and the online suppliers have not been a lot of help!

If you are at Loughborough uni, try the stores in the design department, have plenty of stock of different materials and is available in small sizes/quantities and never use to be expensive. Sure the engineering departments have something similar too. I use to use it while at uni there for course stuff, that was a couple of years back, think they are in the new building now so don't know if anything has changed.
