3003 H14 aluminium suppliers

[Soothill]

Hi

Anyone know of a supplier of unpainted 1.5mm thick, 3003 H14 aluminium sheets in the UK, preferably in the north east? It seems to be in common use in the USA but not here... It's recommended for metal forming in Ron Fournier's book, and a bit stronger than 1050. I've spent hours on google but to no avail.

Thanks for any help

Christian.

Aluminium Warehouse? They have 3003 painted not sure what spec but probably worth a phone call, Dad's used them a fair bit and they've historically been reasonably helpful. Neither are they in the north east but they do do delivery.

Thanks, I've seen their site but it's painted as you say, but yes, I'll try contacting them. Cheers.

*Update: I've tried Allely and Aluminium Warehouse but they don't have it. Aalco Newcastle do it but it's 2mm thick, probably a bit thick for my needs...

UPDATE: Aalco at Newcastle can get 3103 in at £82+VAT so that'll probably do it

I have that same book from Ron, great instructions however over 30 years old. Surely there must be some more modern aluminium alloys that work better than 3003 nowadays? Otherwise I would think it would be easier to get...
