where did you try?
Milford steel can be difficult to deal with but they did let me look through their offcuts bin one time.

think of all the washers you could cut from that, box them and then sell on for a profit!

Is there a Metal Supermarket near you ?

My local one will buy a full length of something if they haven't any in stock, then sell you as much (or as little) as you want. They add their mark-up obviously, but worth it if you only need small lengths.

Go out with hacksaw under cover of darkness and cut down a speed camera. Kill two birds with one stone.
