Where to get a large block of steel?

AdeV:
Mersey Metals will do that size easily, if you're anywhere near the Wirral/Liverpool, they'll deliver too (or if you want, I'll get the piece & post it onto you at cost). No idea of prices, best phone them.

John Rudd:
I wouldnt have thought that making up from smaller blocks would be an option given its service and temperature excursions...worth a thought though?

SteveT:
Hi, I offend have luck going to local jobbing machine shop's or steel fab shops, you find they will have lots of off cuts and are mostly very helpful just make sure you have safety boots on your feet before going in the workshop  :bugeye:

Jasonb:
M-Machine do 2" x 5" flat bar cut to whatever length you need, I've had large stuff off them in the past, page 25

Excellent. Cheers guys.
Brazing wouldn't cut the mustard I'm afraid due to temps (800°c+ are common and even as high as 1100°c)
Will give some of the suggested places a try
