    Folks

    Posted a similar thread over in Engineering but then I found this forum, so here goes.

    I am after some of this stuff -
    http://www.tslotparts.com
    http://www.smt-montagetechnik.de/produkte/k-08.htm

    I think it's called Aluminium Profile. I basically want to build an adjustable frame for a gaming simulator / seat along the lines of this

    I cannot seem to source this or similar in Ireland. Ideally I would like to get my hands on second hand material or as cheap as possible. I have scoured Google and Ebay but it all seems to come from the USA which means taxes and huge shipping costs.

    Can anyone suggest a source for this type of stuff, or even a suitable alternative for the job? (I do not want to weld nor make the $frame from wood)

    Hope this is posted i the right forum

    Many thanks

    It is a crazy guess, but you could try aluminium profiles and accessories near rialto:

    http://maps.google.com/maps/place?client=safari&rls=en&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=aluminium+profile+dublin&fb=1&hq=aluminium+profile&hnear=Dublin,+Co.+Dublin+City,+Ireland&cid=711411165561461201Try golden pages too.

    A lot of these places are a lot easier to talk to about small projects than they used to be. If you try a few places, and keep asking to be referred to somewhere else, you will eventually find what you want.

    I use to deal with a company called profile developements in Cork. They rig use to do aluminium but I think they are pvc now. Worth a try

    Also... That profiling looks like the type thats used with medical machinery. perhaps you can try them as well...
