How much did you pay for it? --- End quote --- Hi, The princely sum of £3.00p. :nrocks: Actually I know another scrap yard not too far away that tends to strip parts from the cars before they crush them. This same wiper motor from them would cost me five times as much and there would be no guarantee that it even works. Having said that if you are stuck for an exchange part it can work out a lot cheaper. |

Down under here, I buy engineering steels from Bohler Udderholm who are a global brand (German based I think). UK web site is here http://www.bohler-uddeholm.co.uk/ I bought 1 metre of 75x50mm steel for tool holders the other day and used the first 30mm of it ... so I will be right for a while.... The small stuff, they want you to take a full length but they cut the larger sizes to length. I also bought 150mm of 63mm stainless round bar. In my experience, if you can get to the right source, you will buy a full length for what you can buy a short piece off ebay or hobby suppliers, not sure how it is on your side of the world though! |
