  • Help sourcing aluminium sheet material please?

    Posted by Robert Lambie on March 8, 2011 at 11:17 am

    Hi all…

    I am looking for some help in sourcing aluminum sheet.

    I urgently require 12 sheets of "White" Aluminum
    10ft x 5ft / 3m x 1.5m
    2mm thick

    I can easily get 8’x4′ in white but really struggling sourcing 10’x5′.

    any help on this would be greatly appreciated. 😀

    Tim, Gary, Mike, Dave… thanks a million for the help on this.
    i’ve been phoning around them and now have prices. thank you very much!

    Richard Austin, who i forgot all about and have a depot a few miles from me has them in stock. so looks like that’s where ill get the sheets as i already have an account and i can pick them up myself. happy days! 😀

    Ive also updated and listed those suggestions and a couple of others on the toolbar now for reference. found under the "UK Suppliers Tab" number "5" on the list. 😀

    Is that the same metals yard that has 6 Panzers in for repair?

    I’ve had two damn sheets of that in my garage for going on 4 years now.
    Customer paid a $500 deposit but never could figure out what they wanted on them.
    I’ve called and emailed repeatedly, the customer has gone bankrupt.
    I wish they’d just come get them and scrap them.
    I can get that size any day of the week here, but I imagine shipping costs would be prohibitive.
    Love…..Jill
