aluminium bending glasgow area
I'm going to need to fab a scuttle bulkhead up for my project, Can anyone recommend anywhere around Paisley/Glasgow area where I can get the 90
degree fold/bend in it? I've rang a couple of local places but no joy, maybe its because i'm english!
Oh and if anyone has any 1.5mm ally kicking around too??.....
cheers
Steve

Go to Yell.com search for sheet metal or fabrication companies.
I expect that loads will come up.

Fair's fair.
I've seen them riveting a patch of ally over burst glassfibre.
Now that's a repair.

With an ex-ship building industry, I'm sure there must be plenty of metalwork places about that have scaled back a bit. But I don't know
of any yet

I've found plenty of places using yell etc, but nobody seems interested in helping out, it will only take 30secs to do aswell
Think i may have access to my old workplace workshop sorted now anyway, didnt really want to go back but needs must!

I've found my local roofer (sheet metal type) will do long straight folds for a pint or two.
