Flat stock brackets
Does anyone know off-hand whether you can buy 40mm x 3mm flat stock? Gotta be easier to make brackets from that than plate.

Asked our local guys and they quoted more for 40x116x3 plates than GTS charge for a full set of complete brackets.
Viper, what's your price?

Yes you can,
I've got a length in the shed. Are you using the Triumph bushes?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I was looking for book spec brackets, but reclaimed a steel sign today that just happens to be made form 50x50x3 RHS.

It's true. It's a bit bent though. Came from a car park that is frequented by a number of learner drivers. Looks like someones reversed
into it. Gonna slavage what I can, but dunno how many brackets I'll get from it.

I made 16 brackets out of a 1 meter length of 50x50x3 and still have some length left over.
So that steel sign, even with a bent,should be plenty.
I actually was wondering what you meant by reclaiming Chris?Did you just steal it as i would do

Nah, I spent a couple of hours yesterday with a breaker getting it out of the ground. I work for a sign company so have had to fabricate a replacement
to the same spec. As jobs go it's quite handy. I've also just cut my floor and rear bulkhead from another reclaimed sign panel. If I was
gonna pinch it I'd have prolly used a stihl saw. Would be much quicker.
