Aluminium supplier wanted

[sharky]

Does anyone on here know where I can get a couple of large alloy plates approx 10" x 10" x 3/4" ? Its for a non-structural part so I'm guessing any grade will do.

I do on the Gold Coast mate. Can't help you down your way. Can it wait till you get up here, seeing as how you're going to sell your house this weekend......

Now the house is done I can get back into the garage....33 days solid working on the damn thing...

smart aluminium or caparal aluminium mate.

you want to go with 5083 or 6061 i rekon. if you plan to weld it 6000 grade alloy is better that 5000 grade. 6000 grade will resist corosion better than 5000

caparal is pretty good, thats who my mate gets his stuff off..

[Deano]

i use caparal but they don't have all grades of alloy so if you want a certain grade I may have to get it from smart instead

Thanks Deano...but

Yea, it's Smart Aluminium I use up here as well. That's who I was going to suggest.

We buy all our aluminium from SMART ALUMINIUM in Bayswater, nice guys and if they dont have it they get it for you at a decent price

Theres a Smart Alloy in Tullamarine Sharky , But IU have found the guys at Caparal more accomadating with stock and prices , the one I go to is just the next steet over from Northlands Shopping centre towards Bell St.
