    Yep-Heitons for mild steel, Short stainless in Bluebell for err.... stainless steel. Heitons are usually good on price,or you could try RFL in Naas.

    I'm looking for a sheet, maybe 4x 6 foot to go over the back of a tail lift so I can then put vinyl over it. What would be best for this? Sheeted Aluminium maybe? Any idea of where to get whatever would be suitable appreciated :)

    I'd also like to find somewhere that could fit such a thing, remember it's a steel tail lift so would have to be attached some how while still keeping as much clear space for the vinyl :)

    Also looking for them strap hooks you bolt into the ground of a van. Don't know what they are called though. Maybe a body builder would be a better place for me to go :)

    You are better off going into a body builders, they are all quiet at the mo, and would have everything ex-stock, and the guillotine and press brake to bend it for you, as well as a way of fitting it. The effort involved to DIY would not be worthwhile. JMOHO

    Thanks for the reply :)

    Yeah I think a body builder is my best option. I only really know of Cafco. Has anyone used them before or anyone else to recommend for this kind of work?
