Steelies Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 think they^ do more specialty metals. steel n tube Hautonga st, a length of 50x6 may be around $40? or small engineering places may sell you a small amount for an arm and a leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yeh, mico's only do ferrous metals, like brass/aluminiuiuinunmimiunmium and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 Cheers guys, one of my customers ended up sorting me out in the end. He said S&T probably wouldnt sell me a metre length anyway, which would be understandable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seedy Al Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 yeah they pretty much just do lengths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 you'll always find a use for the other 5M and it's cheap as chips. but sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD86 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Can anyone hook me up with 2 square meter 0.75~0.8mm body panel steel plz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 are you avoiding getting a full sheet (not much bigger then 2sqM) or finding it hard to get the correct thickness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD86 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 are you avoiding getting a full sheet (not much bigger then 2sqM) or finding it hard to get the correct thickness? I've been told full sheet is massive... also I have been to couple metal fabricators, they happy to sell me some off cuts for cheap but they are not big enough and too thick plz point me to the right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 A full sheet is 2400 x 1200 - thats a smidge under 3sqm - getting an offcut of 2/3rds the size of the original sheet is going to be hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 You could always go to pick a part and buy a bonnet - there is some good panel steel to start with - I guess a large car bonnet would be about 1.5-2sqm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 mild sheet at S&T petone 0.6mm $33 plus gst, 0.8mm $43 plus, and so on. stuff around all you want, nothing will be cheaper and easier than getting a full sheet new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for the pricing Manu, a full sheet it is, much less than what I expected to be honest that's why I'm asked here for help and glad I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
