Default Stainless Strip Supplier

Folks,

I need some stainless strip: 800mm by 50mm by 5mm. Can anyone
recommend a supplier for such a small quantity?

I'd go to the man up the road who welds stuff
gates and farm machinery mostly
He has plenty of stainless offcuts hanging around
Maybe you have a similar man locally?

Plenty of scrap metal merchants in Trafford Park who may be able to help
you, alternatively there's quite a few fabricators there and plenty of
places that 'make good' on industrial machinery.

Might be worth your while to have a drive around and see if you can
strike up a beer/metal interface with one.

Sorry, I should have clearer. I'm not in Stockport ... I'm in the
middle of nowhere, and my only local enginering company is an
agricultural one who consider using a lump hammer instead of a sledge
hammer the height of sophistication ... stainless?
