As title, preferably somewhere that can deliver. Ive tried a couple of places, but they will only sell huge quantities, or dont deliver...

Cheers,
Scott.

hey, just wondering what kind of steel your looking for? im guessing your from bristol (or near)
i have a few contacts in uni about various materials, ill spread the word, and see what i can do - ive been able to get a few things at wholesale prices.

Try an e-mail to Paul Beyer on this site.

He lives in Bristol. He's done an MK but he's Dad's a fabricator or something so may well know the best places.

HTH,

James

Cheers James, i have sent Paul Beyer an email, hopefully he will be able to recommend somewhere.

Tom, im after all the material for my chassis basically. I am planning to build a mid engined roadster with IRS, i very much like Alan B's Meerkat, if i can end up with something that looks similar, i will be a very happy man!

I am still at the design stage, but have a 1.6L Honda Vtec engine for my power plant, which weighs in at 140kg & puts out 170bhp, And my turbo turned up the other day, so i shouldnt be short on power

Just for the record,steel prices are climbing and its getting hard to get hold of (sheet anyway) something to dop with the chinese buying up steel al over europe.

Monkey - Fred Powell seems pretty good - I've bought some steel from them, they know what they're talking about and they can deliver reasonably cheaply. I think they hold all the ERW needed, but they'll probably need to get CDS in specially (they did when I ordered it, it was only a day or two's wait though).

Viper - the story I head was that emission control taxation has recently stepped up causing prices to go through the roof and probably causing all sorts of temporary supply problems.

Kingr

I am only repeating what the buyer at my works ha said.
Tim

kingr - Thanks, i went to Fred Powell at lunch time, and ordered the SHS i need, it should be arriving wednesday morning

Steel prices are on the way up, they had a notice stuck on the counter explaining it all, apparently its to do with more expensive energy and the chinese. Its going to get worse all year apparently.
