Try the following links Look for "ground flat stock" If you PM me I might be able to find a small piece for you--I have quite a bit of it around and if you buy it you will have to buy a standard 16" length I think. Regards John |

![]() 3357 forum posts 112 photos 10 articles | Hi There Why don't you buy 1 inch or 1 1/4 inch wide and cut it off 2 1/16 long? Try Blackgates, they might do it. I buy mine from J&L industrial as I have an account but they might be expensive on postage. Do you have a local engineers' supplies? regards David |
