10mm x 10mm (or so) mild steel angle bar

I can't find any suppliers, does anyone know where I can get some?

Don’t think you can get it that small.

13mm is the smallest i've ever seen although i'm pretty sure B&Q sell 10mm angle in their 'rack of vast expense' so it must be made somewhere.

I'm sure I've seen it in b&q too but it's not listed on their Web site and our local one is collect only. So the search goes on.

If it's a relatively small amount I'd be tempted to use a bigger piece of angle and cut it down to size with the plasma.

eye watering pricing. The Wickes near me have one too. Luckily the bathroom displays are right next to it so you can collapse into a seating position on one of the bogs when you see the price lables.

What dimensions and how much do you need? Sounds like a job for a Flypress.

The smallest BMS angle seems to be 3mm thick. If you need thinner, you can get 20 x 10 x 1.5 box and nearly cut it from that, 20 x 20 would be better, but it will have a good radius on the corner. For short sections, another option is to mill from solid out of 10mm square bar.

I got in B&Q the other day and bought this 2m strip, it was the closest they had, was about 20mm by 20mm by 1mm.

This is what I needed it for.

It will eventually be a fly trap to go in front of my new radiator.

@RaceDiagnostics Sorry I'm too late to the party, I have some but I suspect without measuring that it's wider than you needed.

What you have should be perfectly adequate - looks good too!

The bug catcher finally got installed.

Fist some wire mesh and a lick of paint.

Then some fine fibreglass mesh after a bit of sewing, still looking for some reasonably strong flexible magnetic strip.

I have had to use some little magnets in the mean time. Once the council tip opens back up I should be able to get some strips from an old fridge door.

Fitted.

Tested!

It didn't make any difference to the running temp of the car too.

I bet it flys along
