Rufforth auto jumble

[bigegg]

I'm shortly going to be in need of a moderate amount (maybe 1m2) of 0.7mm zintec, and also maybe a few pieces of Ali checker plate.

If anyone is familiar with rufforth auto jumble, is this a good place to source some offcuts?

Only been once, a few months ago, but didn't see any metal at all on sale. It's nearly all tools, fixings like screws and bolts, and consumables, a few car parts stands, and a few aerosol stands. Maybe ebay?

Try metal supermarket in Leeds for small amounts

We go a few times a year and as above rarely seen sheet metal off cuts once I think over the last few years, I did buy half
a sheet of ally checker plate but only the once.
Last metal we bought was off cuts from local steel place
Rufforth is good for the following as they are usually there.
The Little Scottish chap inside opposite the big tool / nut and bolt stall has all kinds of bags of fittings, fuses, screws, valve cores crimps all under £1 so find him very handy
Two blokes who sell Car Bulbs and few towing / torches, had some cheap Dash Cams from him, again always has bulbs but rest is random
The guy outside who sells aerosols WD40 type stuff, paint basically if its in a can he has it we always stock up as its so cheap
Another outside trader who has socks and oil random assortments all branded very cheap easi start was £2 a can! bought a full case
Inside a bloke has a massive stall with stuff for £5 or £10 all sorts of randomness not just tools
You have to go for the ride as its guaranteed you will come home with something usually not what you go for

I might have a large piece of 0.9mm Zintec in the garage if you’re interested? I can check later and arrange an outrageous price

Yes please!

Yes please!

It’s 100 x 102cm but I think it’s 1mm possibly 1.1mm

Unfortunately, it's going to be too thick.
I already have a couple of sheets of 1.2mm.

Thank you anyway

No problem. Try Metal Store at Cleckheaton, not sure if Metal Suoermarket at Morley stock it.
