Ally sheet
Hi everyone just a quick money saving question, wheres best to get 1.5mm for odd bit and bodywork and 2mm for tank. Needing a sheet (big ish of 1.5mm
and need to work out tank but at a guess 1.2m x 2m should be plenty.

Try your local sheet metal work shop, take pound notes and a set of measurements and walk away with exactly what you want.

Ally sheet is 3 x what it was when I built my car!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Fair point I didn't add the VAT. But if the mail order places are at the bottom end of the quote what the hell are the local dealers doing?

This is who I buy all my aluminium products from. I don't know the current price for 1.2mm and 2mm but £200 seems very high. I may check on
prices tomorrow to see what discount I get.

If you can live with an odd scratch or edge damage the sometimes they will sell a sheet @ 1/2 price.

Too be honest al I want is seconds or scuffed even predrilled mistake sheet as the tank wont be seen and will be cutting to varius sizes and the 1.2

Cheers guys n best price so far was 121.90 deliverd for 2x1 meter of 2mm and same size in 1.2mm so a sheet of each which I hope should do it.

Just had prices back from Aalco:
1 off 2m x 1m x 1.2mm ally £ 26.80/sht
1 off 2m x 1m x 2mm ally, £ 34.75/sht
poly coated 1 side. 1050A H14
Add £19 carriage and then VAT gives £96.66 total.
As has been said, best to find a fab shop that will do it pound notes. They'll guillotine it for a few quid as well.

cheapest place close to you is in leeds at GHE stansfield leeds.
They did sell it a while back cheap.
i just got a load of 16 gauge 1" box there at 1/2 the price of scunthorpe where its made. (£9 per 5 mtr length)
Last time I bought Ali i got it from metal supermarkets just of JN27 of m62 and got scratched sheets 8x4' at £20.
Thanks

If its Stansfields on Buslingthorpe lane you mean I think they only do steel not ali.
