Where to buy stainless steel strip
I need to make a new exhaust strap for my new larger silencer. Where can I buy about 700mm of stainless steel strip. RS will sell me two 2m bard for
£26 but will only ship by courier due to the size and they will only deliver when I'm not in.
Where else can I get some?

RS don't sell to non trade at their trade counters. B&Q don't sell anything as nice as stainless steel.
Metal supermarket? What's that then?

What thickness do you need, I've got some off cuts of 1.2mm about 20mm wide and 400-500mm long.

I need a strip 550 or 600mm long by perhaps 25mm wide. Thickness? I don't know. I guess 1 or 2mm would be fine.

I buy all my stainless form a fabrication shop down the road. They specialise in catering equipment and industrial kitchens. I usually speak to the
lads in the workshops and can get off cuts for the price of a pint or two.
A quick Google found these http://www.stainlessdesigns.co.uk/ which may be close to you? Or try Yell.

B&Q do sell it, but very expensive sold aroundwhere they sell metal bars, but normal sold in sheet format about 2ft x 1ft.

Look behind the guilotine of any steel fabricators!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I though the area behind the guillotine was reserved for the ends off steel rulers?!

Ah, someone else who's done this! Perhaps I'm not so dumb.
