Aluminium sheet

Where can I get some? I want to make a bracket to hold my mp3 player
in the car.

Best I've come across so far is 6 quid for 1.2mm x 200mm x 300mm x 5
sheets from RS online. Although they want 5 quid postage.

Whereabouts are you?

 

Birmingham.

Ah. My local scrapyard's probably not a great deal of use to you then.
Have a gander in Yellow Pages and see if you can find one, then pay a
visit. If you're *very* lucky it'll be one of the old-fashioned kind
that'll let you have a rummage.

 

Probably not.

Good plan but are they really likely to be cheaper than a fiver?

Probably, and almost certainly cheaper than 11 quid (inc P&P)

 

Worth a look then as I'm likely to waste a lot whilst
bodg^H^H^H^Hexperimenting.

 

Where are you, Nigel? I want a piece of sheet cut into a circle for
exchange in beer vouchers.

North Herts, near Hitchin. What size circle? And no beer vouchers
necessary.

 

Prox 3" The idea is that my PDA mount has a suction cup base. That's
fine, but it won't stick to the fake leather of the dahs in my cars. It
came with one plastic disc to be stuck on a dash, but that is now
*permanently* affixed in one of my cars. I now need the PDA hodler in
another.
You get the idea.
I'll measure it tomorrow if that's cool. Anything smooth and rigid should
be fine

Cheers

No problem.

*Boggle*. How about rigid, but slightly veined?

Oh, wait, you said 3"? Forget it.

Ackshirley, I gotta nice bit of stainless sheet[1] here should do you
nicely.

[1] *waves* at Adie.

 

Don't think that would work...

Yes. It needs to be at *least* that size.......

Sounds ideal

Adie's stainless stell? Boggle!

Very nice and all, interesting catalogue - but they don't appear to
sell sheet metal.

 

which reminds me to look in the boot of my car. Andy's brother needs a
new exhaust bracket and I *think* I found a bit more stainless when I
cleared the house out but if not can I pinch a bit back?

ta.
