Aluminium Checkerplate
I need / want some thin 2mm? ally checkerplate to cover the footwells and make them a bit less slippy.
Any clues where I can get some at a reasonable price in the East Midlands, even if I have to buy a big bit and sell the rest?
Ther is some on ebay but postage is prohibitive and B+Q would break the bank and my heart

I got enough to do my foot wells from a chap at stoneligh kit car show for £12.
He was also at Detling so may well be at Newark the weekend if you going that is.

Thanks chaps.
Will need 2 pieces about 440 x550mm and 2 about 440 x 220mm.
Thinner the better I suppose, 1.2 -2mm just to save weight.
Could do with it NOW obviously, but may keep till next week as I am going to Newark, though my mate Wil, may get upset about me using his tiger as a
van

hey, Col, if we can drive back down the M69 with you holding on to a nose cone for dear life, a piece of aluminium sheet will be a breeze (just hope
there isn't too bigger one !)

They'll cut to size and are quite cheap bought some 2mm check for the floor of my Stylus

Sorry I've not got enough of that for you.
You could try Baco metals.

To confound me further, ive just called a couple of local suppliers......
1 will supply me the sizes ready cut for £32 inc vat.
2 will supply me a whole sheet 2.5m x 1.25m for £65 inc vat
1 is convenient, 2 is approx 5 times what I need for only twice the price

It's price fluctuates hourly - depends on the world value
... that and the price of bread.
