Title: Aluminium sheet 1.50mm?
Post by: petercharlesfagg on March 01, 2013, 07:06:40 PM
I looked in the Non "N" gauge section but couldn't find where to post?

I need a small section of 1.50 mm Aluminium sheet about 6 inches square can someone re-post this for me?

It is to replace a knackered piece already mounted on a plastic box.

Regards Peter.

Hello, the link works but the site will not accept orders it just repeats the online order form over and over again!

eBay has loads of different sizes for cheap prices - especially the size you need.  I was looking at 3mm Aluminium myself today for making signs for work.
