DaveFJ - 9/10/03 at 12:50 PM

Do any of you know of a reasonable supplier of alumium sheet in or around Ipswich?

David Jenkins - 9/10/03 at 01:00 PM

I got mine from

Anglia Alloys Ltd
Unit 4, Riverside Rd Riverside Ind Est Gorleston
Great Yarmouth Norfolk
NR31 6PU

Tel: 01493 651028

Reasonable price, plus a not-too-big delivery charge. Plastic protective covering for an extra small charge, one or both sides.

bloody expensive stuff aluminiun. anyone know roughly how much it (say 20swg)weighs compared to steel 16 swg?

alu was about 45 quid a sheet when I got mine 3 years back.


alu has a specific gravity of approx 3 and steel around 8.

so, alu will weigh 3/8ths of that of an equiv sized steel sheet.

I used 16g in 2mtr x 1 mtr sheets from a firm called Hammer Goodlad round the Eckington area. They cost around £18 a sheet +vat but did not have protective covering. This was about 3 years ago.

yours, Pete.

Chris, I'd appreciate the name/address of where you got yours from, your only 10 mins up the road from me (obviously strictly sticking to the legal limit on the a12! )

Got any details for steel sheet and tube suppliers around the area? Need a few off cuts.

Cheers.

just been on to Tiger and they can do a full set of interior and exterior panels - pre cut for my Avon for £55 so I guess thats gonna be the cheapest way to go really....

Thanks for all your help though
