Stainless Steel Rod and/or tube suppliers
Hi,
I am getting really behind on doing Stu's IC rudder.
the thing that is really slowing me down is that I specced the shaft up, but after a little research and chat with those that know, I have had to re-think and find something a bit beefier than what I have in the workshop.
When in Bristol, I could just pop down to a few places and find something. But down here....I havn't got anything sorted out. Does anybody know any supplier of stainless that will sell in small amounts and will take orders by phone or web and who will deliver?
I am after:
12-13 mm rod s/steel
or better a tube with OD 12-13mm and another bit of rod that will fit inside.
I am also after a small bit of alloy billet/rod approx 28mm OD
Any ideas of ways I can get hold of this without driving miles and miles would really be appreciated.
cheers
