Most large hardware stores have a selection of metal sheet and rod
stock; at my local Menards, I can get steel and aluminum in many shapes and sizes, some pretty close to what you're looking for. |

Edina Locksmiths in Edinburgh recently made up some custom brackets for
a friend of mine. They built them up from faxed plans quite reasonably. Any good locksmith may do the same - or I can collect and post from Edina for you? email address is valid; include Edinburgh in the subject... Alternativey, buy the cheapest metal letter box flaps you can find at B&Q ? M. |

At the place near me, people often discard extruded aluminum window or patio door frame material which can be cut with a saber saw very easily. This is what I used to hold a rack on one of my bikes. BTW, if you cut this material properly, you can extract angle from it, which will make stronger brackets. |

Cut a bit of a street sign.(An old unused one of course). European street signs are sheet steel. Are you sure yours are alu? Why yes they are indeed aluminum, just about 1/8" thick and of a strength and temper that makes them near perfect for any number of jobs around the home and shop. Not only are they made of a very useful material but they are found in a variety of sizes and colors. Even better, they can be harvested at no cost in almost any neighborhood. Ron |
