Where to buy Ally Sheet and Bar?

Looking for some ally sheety about 6mm thick for paddle shift and bracket, and some 10mm bar in 1m lengths to make up the linkage.

Ukaluminium doesnt do the sheet.... any ideas?

Thanks!





Tango orange is an 'IN' colour!!

Trailer manuafacturers off cuts, look for people that repair horse boxes maybe?

Linkage would be better made of steel, again the rods for trailer brakes are not that expensive and have threaded ends to suit. They will also sell bell cranks etc off the shelf to suit.

6mm plate

Try plate instead of sheet for the description, there's usually some on ebay, like this





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Possibly too far for you to travel but I use Metals South West in Newton Abbot. I bought some 6mm extruded plate recently so I know they keep it. They will supply it in pieces cut to length too.
