61 forum posts | Does anyone know of a fabricator or sheet metal place that has 1.5mm or 2mm Zintec sheet in the Stoke-on-Trent area? I used to have a plentiful source of free offcuts (some quite sizeable), but that's now finished. |

61 forum posts | That's outside my area, thanks. I'm looking for somewhere that's closer to home (ST13 postcode) so I can collect, and ideally someone who sells offcuts. The main stockist is nearby, but they only sell full sheets of 2500mmx1250mm in 1.5mm. I rang around and all I can find is 1mm cut to size from places that make ventilation and ducting. |

61 forum posts | 1.5mm is thicker than generally used in car panels and is more likely to be used in general sheet metalwork. |

![]() 1545 forum posts 484 photos | Mick, metals4u.co.uk list 1.5mm zintec sheets 500 x 500mm, but at a price! I assume there is p&p on top. I didn't pursue my investigations after I picked myself up off the floor! Other, larger sizes are available. John
