Default Aluminium angle...anybody got access to some???

Im trying to get a piece of 3" angle. doesn't matter if its 3" x 3" or 3" x 2" but the main thing is i only need a piece 3" long max.

All I can find is lengths of 1M minimum.

Just wondered if anybody has an offcut laying around they dont need.........

???

The pre bent alu section has very good rigidity, compared to sheet of the same thickness bent..........

I'd rather uses the angle because of this. That piece you gave me a while back didn't work out good enough in the end

MacKays you say.........so where do you go exactly to see there offcuts bin???
