any one from the glasgow area got any recomendations for the best place to get the steel for the chassis?

Metal supermarket by Ibrox stadium. (Follow the bad smell from the M8 that will take you to Ibrox stadium)

but how many times more expensive is Metal Supermarkets is in comparison to other stock holders?ive bought stuff from there before cause they cut it to length for free so when i was scratch building a lathe from 10x100mm bdms strip it was quite handy.
or does any one know of somewhere cheeper in glasgow?
i was looking on line at shop4steel but theyre in the worng bit of the country (dang)

(notice the similarity to another post)

I'll get u the current numbers for the outfits that supply us in the morning, the best prices I had recently were from Barclay Mathison. Metal supermarket is ok for wee bits but expensive if u are buying loads.
Shug.

Skerry Steel in Blantyre is very reasonable. They deliver as well.

P.S. Pay cash and don't insist on an invoice :-)

As shug says - Metal supermaket is all lovely and clean etc, and will sell small quantities, but they are not the cheapest.

I haven't stopped laughing since I read the thread title. Are Glasgow socks that strong? .

i thought about editing it but its too good a slip up to change

Barclay + Mathieson ltd 0141-445 2591 get a quote from em if it seems steep I can give u another couple to try.
Shug.

S.M.S. (Scotland) Ltd. - East Kilbride. They seem reasonable for bulk orders.

Avondale in Lanarkshire (Shug? Is that correct? They're in Lanark or Carluke, or somewhere near there?) - also seem reasonable for bulk.

If you can't find 'em the web (Yell.com is good) - I'll get their numbers for you. But not at this time in the morning! Jeezuz... Is THAT the time?!!

Barclay and Mathieson for me too..!!! haggle with them on the phone if you want, tell them someone else local has give you the same price but gonna throw in the delivery free.. (works for me !!)
Don't let them tell you steel prices are on the way up again..we monitor it very carefully at work and it has come down this last month.
