Hi Guys,

I have run out of sheet stock and am having trouble buying some more, all my normal suppliers are out of stock.

The only size I can get off of the shelf ( and they only have two sheets ) is 21swg - 0.8mm DC01. I think this is a bit thin.

Does anyone know where I might get some 19swg in the UK

Also is the DC01 OK or should I really be looking for DC03 or DC04.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I've had some in the last couple of weeks from ASD Humber Steel.

Cheers Neil,

But ASD are my usual suppliers !!!

I phoned them this morning, they only had 16 swg in 2M x 1M sheets and no 19 / 20 swg.

They said they are really struggling to get hold of any cold rolled for some reason.
