Hi

Does it have to be in two six foot lengths? this will restrict where you can get it from. I imagine suppliers will be nervous about putting something this fragile in the post. Best option is to search out a supplier in your area and purchase face to face.

the length was the issue tbh

i can find plenty at 12" long

it is for a crazy idea...which i prefer not to rethink on

You could try these guys to see if they will split and deliver

Would it roll up loosely for shipping?

I have used this chap in the past but only for bits and pieces of brass and aluminium.

If he has it but won't ship it, I am not a million miles away and may be able to help.

i will post my idea in general woodworking and see if someone has another idea

if not i may travel to get what i want
i get these ideas in my head and don't think of the practicals
only trouble with different forums when wood and metal meet
not sure i want the bar "rolled up" for my project

The other idea is to get a piece or two of timber at 6' and sandwich the bar between it. That shouldn't be delicate to transport.

Metals4u.co.UK have 1/2" by 1/8" available. They have always been a reliable supplier for me.
