Ali/anything sheet wtd.

I've run out of usable sizes of ali sheet atm but need a bit of something to mount my MS, about 10x6" with a 90 bend at each end.

Before I go pay BnQ a fortune is there anything else lower than locost to use?

Tea trays are now all plastic, somebody's already nicked the road sign at the top of my drive and looking around at the white goods they all some kind of horrible 0.5mm steel..

I've got some off cuts of ali sheet that you're welcome to if you're passing. If you can work out the approx size you need maybe its postable??

Cheers

pop down to the breakers yard, they usually have the odd luton van or similar in i went down to my local one with a mate and a battery jig and took loads of old sheet ali for a tenner.
