Going rate for ally sheet
Benzine - 20/4/10 at 10:07 AM

I've been offered 2 x 4' x 8' 16gauge aluminium sheets for £75. Then I realised I have NO idea what prices are like, last time I bought any aluminium was 4 or 5 years ago and it was much thinner stuff.

bite their arm off. Ali seems to be really expensive at the moment

I think i paid about £50 for the same a couple of years ago.

That sounds like a good deal to me.

Last sheet I bought in 07 was £45 although they did guilotene (sp?) it into smaller pieces for me.

Thanks for the info. Just need to figure a way of getting them. I don't think they'll fit in a micra
