Anyone know where to buy sheet steel?????

[El_Presidente]

as per title, have been searching on google and such but cant seem to make head nor tail, im looking for somewhere to buy some sheet steel to do a bit of welding on the car, somewhere in or near doncaster?    everywhere i seem to come across is just trade sites dealing in bulk  so wondered where anyone else got thiers from?

cheers

motor factors usualy do small pieces, 500 sq i think, B+Q do it too, not cheap but easy to get hold of, otherwise just phone one of the local trade places, if you just want small bits they are often willing to sell offcuts cheap or even let you raid scrap bin as the smaller bit are no use to them
+ could try local engineering shops/ welders may well be willing to sell you bits

defo try engineering company's, etc they chuck away skip loads of scrap steel, etc.

also try places like Aalco (they have branches in Leeds and Hull) and other metals suppliers, im sure they can do offcuts for a good price

or go on a midnight hunt around industrial estates

dont go to b&Q for god sake, they have really high prices

localy i got a sheet of 1.5mm perfect for welding panels, 8ft by 4ft for 15 quid. no special deal.

do you mean 0.5mm? 1.5mm would be a bit thick lol    but good advice, thanks, ill be sorting it tomorrow so ill have a dig around in the big fat yellow one

deffo wasnt 0.5, it might have been 1mm but for some reason i think it was a tad thicker.
