Hi,
I am knocking up a prototype diff mountand reversing setup etc and just need some odds and ends of tubing and plate, does anyone have some knocking around that lives near wigan area that a few beer tokens can secure.

I have some 19mm and 25mm RHS and best part of a sheet 3mm plate left.
How much tube do you need?

What ever you have mate, got lots of bits and bobs to fabrcate (bike engine mounts etc) but think its a real waste to start cutting up fresh lengths for prototypes and small fabrications (not to mention cost)
drop me an email if you like mate.

Just a suggestion - if you take a trip to your local steel stockholders you'll get all the offcuts you need if you make a donation into their Christmas/Beer fund. They get better money that way, rather than selling it by the skip load with the swarf. Trust me, there'll be one near you. Just make sure you draw up a list of the must have sections/lengths/wall thicknesses before the visit, or you'll come out with a load of 'not quite what I wanted' bits! HTH
