Does anyone have any offcuts of alloy in their workshop? I need a round/square block with a diameter of approx 5" and a thickness of around 1-3"

Anyone got anything? The prices for "offcuts" on ebay is just nuts!

Thankyou

What wheel spacer size?

i'd have thought that the only people with offcuts that size is someone using a cnc, or lathe. buying in a length of Alu billet 5" dia would be very expensive.

weve been buying some Alu for stock for some jobs at work. For Price example a 5Mtr length of 20mm OD tube is around £25

I guess it is wheel spacer size... its for a heatsink though...


There are a few sellers on ebay that have "offcuts" of 5" alloy round bar 20mm thick.... £20 plus £7 postage.... that is quite a lot

try these guys

got alli off them when i did my billet sump, pretty good price as they do offcuts

these guys are the ones that have been at the stonleigh show for years: Noggin End Metals
I've always found them very helpful when I needed odd wee bits (they do lots of odd/ fancy materials too)

there website says 5" dia or 6082 = £10.50 per inch
