LF: a little bit of sheet metal

[mr2mike]

Just finishing up some car work and am wondering if anyone has some scraps of sheet metal lying around I can come pick up?
Preferably NW Calgary.

1ftx1ft section would be more than enough. Around 18-20gauge.

Capping off some engine bay holes.

Sounds like you don't want to pay for it - which is fair.

But if you don't mind paying for it, Canadian Tire usually has small sheets of metal for sale.

[firebane]

Home Depot carries it too.

[mr2mike]

Yeah, if no one close comes through, I'll check out C tire. Just figured someone has scraps lying in the garage they want to get rid of.

I just have galvanized sheet metal. Trust me, you don't want to try welding that.

[mr2mike]

Yeah, I have enough zinc in my diet. lol

Metal supermarkets is really cheap too, especially for mild steel. Wouldnt be more than 5$ for a 1x1 sheet i figure. Especially if the boss lady isnt around and you have cash

[mr2mike]

Yeah, I just didn't want to drive out to metal supermarkets. Yes, boss lady = Tyrant.

I'm not a preferred customer so I thought there was a minimum charge, I guess there's scrap sheets for cheap.

How big of pieces and how many? We've got lots of aluminum scraps at work, but nothing 1'x1'. I won't be in again until Monday though.

I'll grab a chunk for you.

[mr2mike]

There's three 2.5" diameter holes I want to fill. Must be steel. Can't weld on aluminum.

78si: Thanks. Add it to my never ending tab.
