Needed - perforated ss sheet metal supplier

Post by mr x » Thu Mar 17, 2011 8:33 am

Anybody know of sources in the area for this type of material? I need to build a new false bottom for my mlt. Would like a piece of 16 gauge with 3/32 holes, probably on 5/32 centres.

Wow, there's a lot of choices on there, can you point out which one you were thinking of using?

That's the one. Gonna check ratchets source too, but if they've got nothing there, this place looks not too bad...

I think mesh might be an option as well if it's heavy enough.

Robert,

I still have what is left of that ss screen that has been passing around for the last year. Still at least a meter left.

Go to Metals R us. Talk to Kelly, Tell her you know me and she will treat you well. She sells stuff from the off cut pile dirt cheap. I always find stuff in that pile.

I'd like to get some of that SS screen that's been passing around. Can you PM me to grab some if it's still available?

Thanks

Tried them, but they didn't have any that size. Problem solved anyway, JohnnyMac has a Sabco he isn't using. :cheers2:
