I'm after some box section, around 2 or 2.5mm wall.

I wanted it to be around 40 to 45mm box and i only need 1.5meters .

When i called metal supermarket the only box they did was 1.5mm.

Is there somewhere that lists standard sizes?

it works in gauge size not mm.

16 gauge is normal size for chassis i think.

see link may help you.

40²x3 and 50²x3 are common sizes at most metal suppliers.

If only you guys lived nearer I hold about 20 k of various box sections and tubes for my welding company I scrap pieces under 1mtr somtimes 1.5m depending on section

I'm sure you should set up a division in the midlands. Coventry / Nuneaton is an excellent area.
