Jason Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ive been trying to find a block of aluminum about 100*100*(15-20mm), ive rung around all the metal cutting places and either no one will let me dumpster dive for some scrap or they 'don't have any srcap'... o.O there some on ebay, but it f@$king expensive for what looks like offcuts any way ! :P does any body know were i can get a piece about that big?

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Try caravan builders, boat trailer builders, boat builders, they always have something for me, usually for a small cashy fee too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love ke70 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 just rock up some place, people are much nicer to your face... and to be honest, thats a fair hunk of aluminium, i doubt many shops would chuck something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Try a aluminum gate and fence place. you'll find that they will use 12mm and maybe thicker for base plate to bolt posts down. Ask nicely without attitude and it shouldn't cost to much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J go to your nearest scrap metal recyclers and ask them if you can look in their aluminium scrap bin. minimal charge.. even if the piece you find is to big it can always be cut down.......will see my mate tomorrow and see if he has some in his yard... will contact you if i find a piece to suit your needs cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 i used to work in a scrap metal yard, and again, a block that size of aluminium wont be easy to find. if you do wanna try though, just go into industrial metal services. they are in browns plains and open saturday mornings. take some scrap metal with you so its not a wasted trip anyway :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
