any fellow Surrey'ites familiar with where I might be able to get enough 3mm steel plate to fabricate axle brackets? maybe an engineering firm (Redhill'ish) who may have offcuts or maybe even a stockholder who might sell so little. All help would be much appreciated as I don't have much clue in this area

metal supermarket in Park royal.

London
0208-961-1414
11 Hanover West Industrial Estate
London, UK NW107NB

maybe not very local, but its a start for you. i don't know Surrey very well, but i know park royal isn't that quick to get to...

yellow pages may be handy for local engineering firms?

Theres a place near Purley/ coulsdon. U2U me for directions or if you can wait i'm going there in the week to order my ally so i'l get details

Park Royal Metalsupermarket!! My favorite!!

I actually spend quite a bit of time in North London as my build is taking place there so I could probably get to Park Royal - in fact I could send the old man out although it's a bit of a jungle in there - he's pushing on a bit and might never find his way out !!

Hi, we can do you a pair of axle brackets for £7.50
