4" / 100mm Aluminium bar stock wanted

[sharky]

Does anyone know/work where I can get 3 pieces of 100mm diameter by 10mm thick, aluminium bar ??
I want to make some custom end caps for my Supertrapp cans and before I try machining 2 perfect circles...

[fimpBIKES]

get a machine shop to turn some off a 4inch bit of round bar?

shouldnt cost much, just call around

I'll have a look at work tomorrow, shouldn't be a drama.

Thanks Iceman. I asked around Seymour but the only 'machine shop' welds up tractors etc....
Doesn't have to be 10mm...even 6-8 would do..and the 3rd is just a spare in case my jig fails [B)]

[Iceman]

Didn't have any 100mm bar, only 150mm. I got one of the apprentices to machine it down to 100mm and made 4 parts 10mm thick 100mm diameter. So you can fuck two of them up if need be.

As it happens I'm go'n to Melboure on Saturday so I can even drop them off on the way past.

Are you travelling on ya own or wife in tow ??

[Iceman]

Option number three, will have the apprentice that machined the parts with me. He want's to have a look at a car in Melbourne, so I'm tak'n him down to check it out.

Hey Sharky, at this stage I reckon it'll be about 3 o'clock tomorrow that I'll call around and drop off your bits.

[sharky]

You beat me to it....I'll send you a email with address and mobile number.

[Iceman]

No need, I'll just drive around and stop at random houses.
