8 mm brass plate

digger58

Don't know if I'm posting in the right place or not, looking for a piece of brass plate 8mm thick about 300X70 or so, any ideas please? preferably to buy here rather than ebay.

Maybe you're just wearing the wrong size. Have you got fitted professionally?

Going out on a limb, I'm going to go with "The wrong place". I may be wrong though. But I doubt it.

What you need to do is get a 10mm and then buy a 2mm brass plate shaver and shave the 2mm off it.

I think you can buy that in 2mmbrassshaver.ie

You knew you were in the wrong place but you were too lazy to find the right one.

Why not pop into an engravers and ask where they get theirs? Or a builders providers.

Not being harsh Digger old son, but someone comes onto AH, looking for 8mm brass plate, then gets snotty because they get snarky replies? Were you headed for DD and then took a wrong turn? "I need some 8mm Brass plate -I know, I'll post that up on After Hours on Boards..because all them are experts on metal sheets and ****.."

Check yourself lad, before you wreck yourself.

I can't be the only person wondering what the brass plate is for??

He wants it for his door to signify that he is an important man

Is there any other obscure queries the good folk of AH can help you with at this fine hour?

Maybe a roll of duct tape strong enough to keep a turtle taped to a ceiling fan at full tilt but it has to be rainbow coloured duct tape, made in southern Guam by extremely tall siamese midget triplets called Barry, Garry and Larry.

I know where I can get you that.

He's planning on making a nametag, so he doesn't forget his own name. 8mm is overkill - 2mm would do.

humberklog

Try James Healy in JFK industrial estate.

I've used them a lot in the past but for copper plates. They do brass too. Whatcha gonna do with 8mm?

Petersons you say? Are they very old school? I've heard good things about them in the past.

I imagine 8mm thick is going to cost €€€€. It might be possible to get a thinner sheet and fold it to shape.

Let's buy twice the area in 4mm and fold it in half to make 8mm because it's cheaper yea you're a winner alright.

Didn't all Petersons emigrate to Amerstralia or somewhere

I believe the Recession did most of them in. The torch situation grew very dim for a good while.

I scrapped some 2mm brass plate a week or two ago. What I got for it would pay for a nice 2 week holiday in the sun. I'm guessing 8mm is seriously spendy. I know 8mm copper sheet is eye-watering anyway.

Had a few Pints in the Torch one night, fell off the barstool and some fecker robbed my left shoe.

That's what I'm recommending as a likely cheaper alternative.

Tried google but only places in UK, That's why I asked about here in Ireland!!!!!! Engravers only use thin plate, up to about 4mm, asked a friend who has a family member doing it. I enjoy a sense of humour but maybe not the question to ask on a Saturday night. Answer too best question of the night.. Need it to make a spanner for a gas fitting! Not paying £70+ for one that will be used once or twice a year.

I know I took the piss out of you last night but I did a bit of Googling too. Got a good few sheet metal supplier results but no definitive brass bits that you wanted.

Best of luck with it.

Have just found a genuine one for £10.99 on ebay! Now to find a 23mm one as well.

Excuse my ignorance OP. Would an ordinary chrome vanadium spanner not do the job?

That's great news. Keep us posted on your progress, in as much detail as possible.

Brass and certain other combinations of metals don't spark when struck, hence safe near gas systems!
