Brass bar
« on: April 12, 2012, 11:40:58 am »
Hello

I am trying to find someone that can supply me with some 0.125mm (1/8'') brass bar and it needs to be 380mm (15'') long.
Any idea chaps ?

 Try this supplier, excellent service: http://www.eileensemporium.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=90&Itemid=9

 You may have to buy the 500mm. length and cut the excess off.

Tried B & Q? My local one sells it...and other sizes, shapes and so on. Also various sizes/sections of aluminium. generally in 1metre lengths, but handy if only small quantity is required. BY.

Thank you all,
I found the one Chris recommended the best, catering for model railway builders it has a huge stock of brass sections.

Brazing rods come in 1/8th sizes (3.125mm) so your local toolshop/tool hire place could help you out and they're usual quite long lengths.
