Steel Stockholder Recommendations?
nitram38 - 11/5/07 at 09:45 AM

I am now ready to build "Project X" as I now have a second rented Garage to store the F1-2.
They will need to deliver to Mitcham in Surrey.

I am after (approx measurements) in 6m lengths:

38mm X 1.5mm Round Tube
25mm X 1.5mm Round Tube
30mm X 1.5mm Round Tube
50mm X 25mm X 1.5mm Square tube

plus the oval tube that MK use for their wishbones.

If all else fails you should have a metal supermarket near you who will deliver any order over £25 IIRC

I used www.arenastock.co.uk for tube but bought a bulk length. They were very helpful. Cheers, Pewe

I have just called IS & G in beckenham and they are going to ring back with a price. I will checkout your recommendations too.

Cheers Martin

IS&G won hands down with me, Parker steel were a complete rip off.

And you can argue price down easily, just wisper discount and they will ask you much.

I have been quoted for all except the oval "MK stuff" and considering how much I need they are cheap.

Converted to imperial for some items.
1 1/2" X 16 gauge Round £11.30 for 6m
1" X 16 gauge Round £7.30 for 6m
1 1/4" 16 gauge Round £10.16 for 6m
50 X 25 X 16 gauge box £13 for 6m

Hopefully my chassis and wishbone steel is going to be around £120
