anyone got any? or know of a supplier that DEFINITELY has it?

need a piece 80cm long to make this for my radiator mounting


Description

what about using box and cutting it

box section

Usually available in imperial sizes, so 3 x 1 would be a stock size or 2 1/2 x 1 ?

hmm, might have to look at steel then...
what sort of thickness should i make this out of then do we think?

its to go where the bit of wood is in this photo

Description

to sort this problem

Description

1.5mm? could it be thinner? i'll probably need a thickness that i can fold easily enough with some bits of wood and a hammer/mallet

Blake,

Ive got some 1mm wall 50 x 20 Ali box at lease i think its 50, may be 40 I'll check is its any good to you.

cheers

Andy

just checked

38 x 19 (1 1/2 inches x 3/4)

cheers Andy. might be a bit too narrow though i think. would maybe be happy 2" (70mm is 2.75" ) and the remaining 0.75" might need a spacer to stop it rattling in the channel. i plan to put a bolt through it somewhere to bolt to the steel channel in the chassis though
