Spare ally sheet?
gutball - 26/10/05 at 12:08 PM

Hi all, after just getting a quote of over 60 quid for one sheet ally delivered I thought I'd ask if anyone here's got some left overs?

Anything considered, but preferably offcuts of these sizes (approx, left my measurements at home!):

1.25m x 1.0m
1.5m x 0.5m
1.0m x 1.0m

If you've got anything close to those sizes please give me a shout, as I said I've left proper measurements at home, above are only estimates!

Doesnt have to be tidy, scratched as you like, not going to be seen! 1.0mm think prefered but obviously I can't afford to be too picky!

Have you tried metal supermarket

They do smaller quantitys. If the sheet is scratched use water paper to polish it up

Try a local sheet metal work company.I bought 3 1m x2m sheets of 1.2mm for £14 each from a local company, much cheaper than the metal supply companys they obviously buy in bulk and were interested in what i was building.
